Leaked Strictly exit spoiler leaves fans fuming as first contestant axed

Strictly Come Dancing fans were left devastated as the result of the first elimination of 2023 was leaked online ahead of the results show airing on Sunday.

The celebrities danced for the second time on Saturday following last week's first live show which didn't feature a dance-off. Instead, the Craig Revel Horwood, Shirley Ballas, Motsi Mabuse and Anton Du Beke's scores were carried over and added to this week's for the final leaderboard.

BBC viewers were given the first opportunity to vote for their favourite couple after a night which saw Les Dennis and Nancy Xu at the bottom of the leaderboard while Layton Williams and Nikita Kuzmin topped the evening. The results show is filmed on Saturday and airs on BBC One on Sunday, but It appears the result has already been leaked leaving fans furious.

The Mirror has chosen not to reveal who has exited the show this week - but fans of the star will no doubt be devastated.

Before the exit result was leaked, Strictly fans worried Nikita Kanda and Gorka Marquez were in danger after finding themselves second from bottom on the judges' leaderboard. One fan tweeted: "I think Nikita will go sadly #strictly."

Another agreed: "Sadly feel we’re losing Nikita & Gorka. It really should be Les and Nancy but if there’s anything we learnt from last series. People love an entertainer and that’s what Les had done for 50 years into his career. He’s not a dancer no but he delivers entertainment."

Ahead of tonight's second live show, Nikita found herself most at risk of becoming the first celebrity to be eliminated from this year's series. Bookmakers Ladbrokes tipped her for an early Strictly exit with odds of 6/4 to be sent packing on Sunday, ahead of Les Dennis at 2/1.

Love Island star Zara McDermott was 6/1 to leave the show this weekend, while Channel 4 news anchor Krishnan Guru-Murthy was next in the betting at 7/1.
