Strictly spoiler account unable to leak results after bosses ‘crack down’ on show mole
THE STRICTLY spoiler account has notified fans that there would be no leaked results this week after bosses “cracked down” on the show mole.
Each week an anonymous person reveals which couple has been eliminated hours before the Sunday results show is aired.
However, last month BBC bosses have launched an investigation to uncover the mole after the pairings were leaked.
The Strictly spoiler took to their X account and that they were unable to leak the results this week.
They wrote: “Strictly Spoiler update I’ve no mole this week and other reliable sources seem to be struggling too.
“However those of you around in the pandemic will know that no moles doesn’t equal no spoiler. It does mean it might be in the morning though.”
Many were quick to react, with one writing: “Why is it this week you have no moles weird.”
Another posted: “I wish you’d posted this earlier so I didn’t stay up.”
A third added: “It’s buggered up my day not knowing who left. It’s time Angela Rippon went, it’s patronising to overmark her just because she’s old. Mind you, I wish I could do the splits like she does.”
The leaking is possible as Sunday night’s results show is filmed “live” after Saturday night’s show – with the audience sworn to secrecy.
But now it’s been reported show bosses are determined to uncover the person’s identity after the results of each show last series were also spoiled.
A source said: “Enough is enough, it isn’t fair on the fans, they look forward to tuning in to see who will be dancing together.”
The TV insider continued to the Daily Mail: “Now procedures are being put in place to see if the mole can be caught though it’s tricky because there are so many people involved with Strictly but the bosses are determined to nail he or she.”
Last year the mole leaked which celebrity was voted off of the show each week – spoiling the results show for fans.
An insider said last year: “For years, the audience didn’t twig the Sunday show was pre-recorded, but recently results have been leaked, spoiling the suspense.”
The audience at Strictly Come Dancing have their phones removed during filming, with the crowd made up of family and friends of those taking part and members of the public.
