Strictly Come Dancing fans in shock as leak reveals first eliminated dancer
STRICTLY Come Dancing fans are in shock as the first eliminated dancer of the series leaked online last night.
Every year, the identity of the celebrity who gets the boot is revealed on social media hours in advance as the Sunday night results show is pre-recorded on Saturday evening.
And viewers of the hit BBC show who couldn't wait flocked to learn the identity of the unlucky dancer who was first to get the boot - and they were surprised by what they saw.
While The Sun will not spoil the identity of the contestant who was sent packing last night, it's clear from twitter that the outcome divided fans.
"Not surprised at the bottom two but surprised at who the judges picked," one tweeted.
A second wrote: "I don’t think the right people were in the dance off or eliminated but there’s not much in it, later eliminations will be more controversial."
