Anton Du Beke has hit out at the Strictly Come Dancing 'mole' who leaks the results of each week's public vote before it airs on the BBC, urging them to stop 'spoiling' the show.
While the BBC still try top keep up the pretence that the results show air live on a Sunday evening, the reality is very different, with the result reveals and subsequent dance-off and judges' decisions recorded just hours have rolled on the Strictly live show every Saturday. Strictly fans in the know have been staying up late on a Saturday night for years now, knowing that they'll be able to find the result by way of a spoiler that is shared on Twitter.
That means that by the time the results show actually goes out on BBC1 on a Sunday night, with hosts Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman and the judges all changing outfits to maintain the illusion of a 'live' show, the eliminated couple have in fact already been out of the show for close to 24 hours, forced to keep their fate a secret from fans.
