Strictly Come Dancing's week five results show is set to air tonight, but the elimination result has already leaked online, leaving fans furious over one judge's vote.
The BBC show saw Olympic champion Tabby Stoecker top the leaderboard with two 10s for her Couple's Choice dance with Mark Karmalita, while footballer Shaun Wright-Phillips landed at the bottom with just 17 out of 40.
Leaked Result Sparks Fan Outrage
As with every week, the result of who was sent packing was leaked online. This time, fans have been left speechless over one judge's vote on who they wanted to save. Fans have accused the judge of being 'biased', with one X user commenting: "I think this takes the cake for the most bizarre."
While the result and the judge's vote are known, the show is keeping the details under wraps until tonight's broadcast.
Leaderboard Shake-Up
It was a real switch-up with the scores this week, with Jaime, Cach and Lawrence sent crashing to the bottom of the leaderboard after wowing during Icons Week. Jaime and Carlos bagged top marks last week with their Paso, scoring 34 and were joint top with Cach and Maddie, who impressed with their Foxtrot.
Lawrence and Jowita had also wowed with their Salsa, which they had scored 30 for. This week, however, it was a very different story. Lawrence and Jowita dropped to second bottom with a shock score of 19 for their Jive, followed closely by Cach and Maddie, who scored 24 for their Cha Cha Cha. Similarly, Jaime and Carlos scored just 25 for their Foxtrot.
Delta Goodrem returned and received the first 10 of the series from Anton Du Beke, but got just a 7 from Craig. Fans accused the judges of being 'ridiculously harsh' on Emmerdale star Lawrence Robb after he received 4s from Craig and Shirley, a 5 from Motsi and 6 from Anton.
Fans Call for Shirley to Be Axed
Fans are not happy with Shirley Ballas following her critiques last night, particularly regarding the female competitors. One fan commented on X: "#Strictly Just wanted to pick up on Shirley's comments towards Bethany following her Argentine Tango tonight. Shirley shows hints of bias and sexism when she comments on young women during SCD. She's done the same with Ashley Roberts Fleur East and Tasha Ghouri in recent years and now she's doing the same with Lacey & Bethany this year imo."
Another commented: "Shirley is being really harsh on Lacey." A third wrote: "Ok, it's now impossible to ignore Shirley's bias against the female celebs. The way she's talked tonight to Lacey and Bethany specifically was crazy harsh. Especially when she praised Will who was awful."
Shaun Wright-Phillips took to Instagram to thank everyone for the support as he admitted last night was a "challenge". He wrote: "Last night was a challenge, but as always, we dance, we smile, and we keep going! Thank you to all those who voted and supported as always."
Strictly is back this evening at 7.10pm and fans will be able to find out who's been sent packing.
