The second celebrity to leave this year's series of Strictly Come Dancing has been leaked online once again ahead of Sunday night's results show.
The result of a dance-off between two pairings won't officially be announced until Sunday night, but the fate of one couple has already been decided. The BBC film the dreaded dance-off straight after Saturday night's live show but keep the results under wraps for 24 hours.
David Thorp, 42, has been revealing the identity of the axed pairings on his website Strictly Spoiler every Saturday evening since 2012 – much to the dismay of the Strictly Come Dancing team and judge Anton Du Beke, who last year suggested David is 'ruining' the show for fans. And this week was no different as the name of the celebrity leaving this week was leaked online, which the Mirror has decided not to share.

While another added: "Noooo." While another suggested the leak was incorrect as they penned: "That's different than the result I've read."
A third penned: "Petition for Strictly to just air the results show on Saturday night. The spoilers are annoying plus I think it’s so pointless being Sunday??? When it’s already filmed Saturday… #Strictly".

Speaking exclusively to the Mirror last year, Strictly's 'super leaker' David defended his spoilers and claimed that the BBC are "silly" to if they think they can escape falling victims to spoilers in a digital world. He also revealed some viewers who visit his website even tell him that they find the results show on Sunday 'more bearable' when they already know who goes.
"I mean, I say this on my website, we live in an age where it’s possible to transmit information around the world pretty much in the blink of an eye with the internet," David began when speaking following a hectic few days last October, with Strictly judge Anton slamming the leaks.
"So I just find it a little bit silly of them to pre-record the results show of what is their main reality TV show and broadcast it a whole day later and expect people not to find out in this online world we live in."
David, who hails from Preston, Lancashire, went on to address Anton's outburst a few days prior to our chat regarding the 'Strictly mole', after the talent show judge appeared on Loose Women and claimed spoilers ruin the show for viewers.
"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," Anton declared on the ITV show, later adding: "They call you a spoiler for a reason - because you’re a spoiler. Don’t do it… Try to stop spoiling it please, because people don’t want to know."
David disagreed with Anton's claims his website is ruining the Strictly experience for viewers, explaining last year: "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."
He added: "If there wasn’t a demand for the information to be out there, my site wouldn’t get as many hits as it does."
