Strictly Come Dancing finale date leaked by BBC crew member with giveaway Instagram blunder
STRICTLY Come Dancing’s grand finale date appears to have been leaked after a blunder by a star.
The BBC One celebrity dancing show will return this month for a three month run to crown the next Ballroom champion.
And the leaks have started early this year with the apparent date of the grand finale being let slip.
Strictly’s live audience warm-up entertainer Lee Peart is returning to hype up the people watching in the studio each week.
And he excitedly shared a picture of his security pass ahead of the show’s return.
“It’s back,” he wrote alongside a picture of his new pass.
Although eagle-eyed fans will have noticed the expiry date and what that could mean for the show.
The security pass will expire on Saturday December 23 – which gives a pretty big clue that that is the date of this year’s grand finale.
It would make it one of the latest-running series of the show, ending just days before Christmas.
This year’s Strictly stars posed for a glamorous photoshoot ahead of the new series kicking off on September 16th.
The full cast contains the likes of Angela Rippon, Layton Williams, Nigel Harman, Ellie Leach, Amanda Abbington, Les Dennis and Waterloo Road‘s Adam Thomas.
