BBC Strictly Come Dancing fans fume over 'biased' scores as results leaked

Fans of the hit BBC show Strictly Come Dancing have vented their anger online as the results for Saturday night's show were reportedly leaked online. This week's show was moved to Friday night, December 2, due to the broadcaster showing the World Cup 2022.

Due to the change, the results will now be shown on Saturday evening, December 3, rather than in their usual Sunday slot, The Express reports. The leak has left many viewers disappointed, with claims of 'biased' scoring from the judges affecting the public vote.

Taking to social media to share their thoughts about the leaked result, user @yh8787yh claimed Anton's "biased" scoring of one act, meant the wrong person was sent home. "A travesty really, but at least they get more screen time #StrictlySpoiler," @sneakydenim fumed.

While Mrs King added: I've just seen the #strictlyspoiler via Facebook. I'm absolutely b****y fuming. That's my 3 favourites out of the competition. I won't be watching the last 2 programmes." (sic) "Judges scoring all over the place this year what they say doesn't match scores given at least they have no say in final," Elaine wrote.

Paul Webster said: "In bottom two yet again, Shirley having decisive, which is a joke in itself." (sic) However, some fans claimed they "weren't surprised" over the result.

John said: "Actually, got that call right for #Strictly #StrictlySpoiler ." On Friday night, the remaining celebrities took to the ballroom floor in a bid to impress the judges. The theme for the star-studded line-up this weekend was Musicals Week.

Molly Rainford and Carlos Gu kicked off the night with their Chicago Charleston. The duo impressed the judges so much that they received their highest score in the series.

After scoring 38 points, the professional dancer was overcome with emotion. Molly told host Claudia Winkleman: "I'm so happy as I was really nervous and felt like I was back in week one again.

"I was opening the show, especially on a week like this, so I just feel so blessed and grateful." However, the presenter had to step in and comfort Carlos as he got emotional over their score.

Hamza Yassin and Jowita followed the duo with their Lion King-inspired Samba. While Kym Marsh and Graziano di Prima stunned with their Fame-themed routine. Will Mellor and Nancy Xu were up next and delivered an emotional Foxtrot.

Meanwhile, Helen Skelton and Gorka Marquez brought the sass with their performance. Taking the last spot, were Fleur East and Vito Coppola, who impressed the judges with their footwork.
