The Strictly Spoiler social media account and website regularly ruins 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".

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