Strictly chaos as winner of Christmas special is spoilt after result leaks online – WEEKS before show is on TV

Yesterday at 06:45 AM

STRICTLY Come Dancing’ fans have been left furious after the results of the Christmas special leaked online before the show. 

The special episode of Strictly airs on Christmas Day – but the show has been thrown into chaos after the identity of the winner was revealed.

The Strictly Spoiler social media account and website regularly spoils the results of the main live show.

And viewers weren’t impressed when they spoiled the Christmas special.

One wrote on social media: “You know what's worse than the weekly #Strictly spoiler, when the Christmas winner leaks.”

The Strictly Spoiler website urged readers that there is “no need to sit through the special whilst in a food coma or wait over three weeks to learn who wins the Christmas special”.

They added: “Because my stocking is full to the brim of spoilers so here are the results,” before sharing who won the glitzy glitterball trophy during the Christmas Day special that is yet to be aired.

The Sun has decided to keep the outcome of the Christmas special a secret, so as not to spoil the surprise for viewers before the episode airs on Christmas Day.

Despite the ruined results, fans can look forward to an epic line-up of stars hitting the dancefloor for Christmas.

The celebrities due to dance on Christmas Day for the special are Formula 3 driver Billy Monger and professional dancer Nadiya Bychkova, as well as former EastEnders star Tamzin Outhwaite and pro Nikita Kuzmin.

Harry Aikines-Aryeetey (AKA Nitro from Gladiators) will also be dancing – and partnered with Nancy Xu.

Vogue Williams will dance with Gorka Marquez, and RuPaul’s Drag Race UK star Tayce will be strutting her stuff with Kai Widdrington.

Finally, Josh Widdicombe is paired with Karen Hauer.

Reacting to the news of the Strictly Spoiler, fans on social media have shared their thoughts.

FANS REACT TO THE LEAKED RESULT

While many were annoyed by the result being spoiled, some were happy their favourite won the show.

“Least I know I don't need to watch that then,” quipped one person.

Another said: “I’M SO HAPPY!! They’re the couple I wanted to win! I hope to see XXX on the main show next year.”

A third then added: “Wanted XXX to win … but congratulations to XXX and XXX.”

While a fourth penned: “Congratulations to XXX. Would have liked XXX to win.”

And a fifth said: “I am glad to see who won it It should be a good show. I really like the Christmas special.”

THE STRICTLY SPOILER STRIKES AGAIN

This isn’t the first time that the Strictly Spoiler has spoiled the results for viewers of the iconic dancing competition because each week the account and website will share the results before they air.

The Strictly Spoiler has trusted moles who attend the tapings of the BBC One programme, with the moles then feeding back the results before the Strictly Spoiler publishes them.

On the website, the Strictly Spoiler states: “I work closely with a number of other spoiler sources and together we source moles for the various shows who are willing to tell us the results.”

The Strictly Come Dancing Christmas special will air on BBC One and BBC iPlayer on Christmas Day.
