Strictly Come Dancing viewers are demanding that the Sunday results show is broadcast live as they accuse the BBC of 'pretending' that it is.
The elimination programme is actually pre-recorded straight after the live show on a Saturday night, with fans annoyed that presenter Claudia Winkleman kept referring to it as 'tonight's show' instead of Sunday's show.
Similar complaints were also raised last year, but the format has remained the same, writes Yorkshire Live.
One of the reasons for the complaints is that spoilers leak out every week and many fans already know who is going to be eliminated before the dance-off is even shown, ruining the surprise on Sunday.
And one fan even pointed out that the BBC is keeping up the ruse by adding subtitles live, instead of pre-added, to make the show appear as if the subtitles are being added to live speech.

@pookietherabbit said: "#Strictly why do you think and worse treat the British public as if they are stupid? Trying to make out that the Sunday #StrictlyComeDancing is filmed on the Sunday and everyone comes back, dresses up for the camera, for only 2 couples to dance. Really? We are not stupid"

Spoilers: On Sunday night, Kaye Adams and pro Kai Widdrington did battle in the dance off against Matt Goss and pro Nadiya Bychkova.
Unfortunately the judges sent Kaye Adams and Kai home, voting 3-1 against the pair, with only Shirley Ballas choosing to save them.
But many viewers already knew that before it was broadcast.
