Strictly Come Dancing mole returns after mysterious delay to leak shock Halloween dance off

The Strictly Come Dancing mole has once again leaked who will be exiting the dance floor on this week's Strictly show after the Halloween performances on Saturday night.

The Strictly mole typically leaks which celebrity will be leaving after the BBC show airs on Saturday night, but left eager fans waiting until Sunday morning this week.

This led to fans worrying something could be amiss, or even be a shocker result with an unexpected dancer leaving the competition.

However, the news has been leaked with the mole telling the spoiler to his 60,000 Twitter followers on Sunday morning ahead of the results show on Sunday night.

David Thorp, the person behind the infamous Strictly spoiler, took to Twitter to announce the news to his 60,000 followers, who were eager to find out the result.

He wrote: "Sorry guys but I think that’s me done for night. I sleep light so I will keep checking overnight when I wake up but I think we may be depending on the source I used in lockdown which will be in the morning."

However this morning (Sunday 30 October), Thorp leaked who will exit the BBC programme.

The Mirror has chosen not to reveal who was in the bottom two, or who departed the programme this week.

Saturday night saw the remaining eleven celebrities and their dance partners perform in Halloween inspired routines on the sixth week of the competition.

High scoring dances including Kym Marsh and partner Graziano who performed their icy 'Frozen' rumba and Will Mellor and Nancy Xu who opened the show with their Cha Cha Cha to Mama Told Me Not To Come by Tom Jones and Stereophonics.

Usually when the show has aired the spoiler of who had been eliminated from the competition is leaked online, however, this week it had been delayed until Sunday morning, making fans nervous whether their favourites will remain in the dancing competition.

The delay prompted some Twitter users to predict a shock result had happened.

Rather than spoiling the fun, Thorp has previously told The Mirror that he's only telling those who 'want to know' the results early. He told The Mirror : "I mean, as far as the people who are accessing it go through me, they are actively seeking it out. They want to know.

"So I'm not spoiling it for people who don’t want to know and I do my very best not to – I try limit it to those who want to find out. People google the results and hit my website through searching.

"If there wasn’t a demand for the information to be out there, my site wouldn’t get as many hits as it does."

The spoiler comes after the BBC considered filming their Sunday night show live to stop the leaks from happening.

Not all fans are thrilled by Thorp's work, as Judge Anton du Beke urged fans of Strictly not to spoil the results for others by leaking it online.

He said: "It gets on my nerves. Please stop. I don’t know who you are but please stop. Don’t do it. Why would you do it? Nobody knows who it is.

"The audience, like the people who go to [Agatha Christie murder mystery play] The Mousetrap, for example, which has been going for years, we’re all in it together.

"Knowledge is power and all that sort of stuff, everyone has an agreement we won’t say anything, so I don’t know who it is."
