Fans of the popular BBC programme Strictly Come Dancing have been left "heartbroken" after the first-ever elimination of the 2025 series was "leaked".

Newsquest will not reveal the details of the celebrities who found themselves in the bottom two since these results have not been verified (and to avoid spoiling tonight's programme).

After the main programme, the two lowest-scoring couples must go head-to-head in a dance-off during the results show.

While this edition of the ballroom show may look live, it is actually recorded on Saturday night, something that has made leaks a major problem.

Yesterday, Amber Davies and Nikita Kuzmin found themselves at the top of the leaderboard, followed closely by Lewis Cope and Katya Jones.

The lowest-scoring dancers were Ross King and Jowita Przystal.

Taking to a social media post from an account going by the name Strictly Spoilers (Don't click if you value not having the show spoiled), fans of the BBC show were quick to make their feelings known about the supposed "leak".

This Strictly Come Dancing viewer said: "Absolutely the right result!! Good job for once, public!"

Another said: "Have to say not shocked, especially after two nights, all lifts, not great dancing. He was possibly the least improved."
