This has meant that every single week the result has leaked online before fans have chance to watch the results – ruining it for them.

And this week it has happened again.

The Sun will not reveal the results of the leak in an effort to preserve the surprise for fans.

However those who have been spoiler have made their fury known as the show has been embroiled in a fix row over former Come Dancing host Angela Rippon surviving to this week’s Blackpool show – 40 years after she hosted there.

One wrote: “Wow…we finally get a genuine shock!”

Another added: “I’m horrified at who was in the dance off ! Right result IMHO but they should never have been there in the first place.”

In tonight’s episode Waterloo Road star Layton Williams and partner Nikita Kuzmin topped the leaderboard, alongside former Coronation Street star Ellie Leach and her partner Vito Coppola.

Layton and Nikita Kuzmin were praised for their pole-based routine to Ain’t No Other Man by Christina Aguilera during tonight’s episode.

The pair were placed joint top of the leaderboard, but were unable to secure full marks.

Three of the judges awarded the pair a 10 for their couple’s choice routine, while Craig Revel Horwood awarded the couple a nine, resulting in an overall judges’ score of 39.

Before they revealed their scores, Revel Horwood told Williams: “This is a little bit of a dilemma for me because I loved it, number one, but it wasn’t entirely in sync.”

He went on: “That being said, you are one of the most incredible dancers that I have seen on this show over the 20 years I’ve been doing it.”

Head judge Shirley Ballas complimented the actor and said: “Well you know, for me, it takes a lot, really, to impress me, but this really is creative genius.”

At the other end of the leaderboard, Angela Rippon and partner Kai Widdrington achieved just 28 points.
