Strictly Come Dancing fans have expressed frustration after realising that the spin-off show It Takes Two is not always broadcast live. The revelation came during Tuesday's episode, hosted by Fleur East, when an on-screen message announced that contestant La Voix would not be dancing this weekend due to injury.
La Voix and her professional partner Aljaž Škorjanec were forced to pull out of the Blackpool special after she sustained an injury. Under show rules, she will receive a bye to next week. However, fans noted that the announcement was made via a text overlay rather than mentioned live by the host, suggesting the episode was pre-recorded.
Viewers took to social media to voice their surprise. One wrote: 'Is anything on Strictly filmed live anymore??' Another added: 'They specifically say that #ItTakesTwo is live, but they just had to put a message on screen... so they clearly aren't live when that was hours ago?!'
The incident has reignited debate about pre-recorded segments on Strictly. The Sunday results show has long been filmed on Saturday nights, leading to frequent leaks. Many fans are calling for a change to ensure results are revealed live on Sunday to prevent spoilers.
