A seismic spoiler leak has rocked the world of Strictly Come Dancing, promising to extend the drama from Saturday's spectacular Musicals Week into Sunday's results show. Fans of the BBC juggernaut are in a frenzy after an unverified but widely circulated online post named the couples allegedly facing elimination.
Musicals Week Delivers Highs and Lows
The Saturday night broadcast was a rollercoaster of emotion and glitter. Amber Davies and Nikita Kuzmin soared to the top of the leaderboard with a perfect score of 40 for their show-stopping routine. Meanwhile, Balvinder Sopal was moved to tears after receiving her highest marks yet for a Viennese Waltz, scoring 35 with partner Julian MacMillan.
The night also featured a surprise musical performance from Tom Fletcher with Paddington Bear and even saw pro dancer Neil Jones getting a playful telling-off from the stage while in the audience. However, with the leaderboard incredibly tight—three couples tied on 35 points—the outcome of the public vote was anyone's guess.
The Leak That Has Everyone Talking
As has become an annual tradition, a well-known spoiler account has shared its purported results for Sunday's elimination. While the BBC never comments on or verifies such leaks ahead of broadcast, the alleged information has sent shockwaves through the fan community.
Reaction on social media was swift and stunned. One viewer declared, "My jaw just hit the floor," while another described the impending result as "wild." A third fan stated they were "absolutely gutted," and a fourth called the rumoured verdict "a bit of a shocker."
This leak underscores a theory voiced by some viewers after Saturday's show: that the judges' closely bunched scores were a deliberate tactic. One fan speculated online, "Tonight I feel the judges were told to, bar any massive mistakes, score the couples the same so whoever is in the dance off, it's the public's 'fault'."
What Happens Next?
The tension will finally break when the official results are revealed on BBC One during Strictly Come Dancing: The Results, presented by Claudia Winkleman and Tess Daly. The show airs at 7.45pm on Sunday evening.
Until then, the speculation will rage. With Amber and Nikita's perfect 40 not guaranteeing safety if they land at the bottom of the public vote, and with mere points separating the other couples, the spoiler leak suggests a dramatic and potentially unexpected conclusion to Musicals Week.
