Others insisted that a current celebrity was being favored as the show aired live on Saturday.
Viewers expressed their surprise at the result of the latest Dance Off, which was leaked on social media, resulting in the departure of a fan-favorite star.
One viewer described the outcome as a “farce,” while another stated it was “the wrong call.”
As with previous seasons, the Sunday night results show, although presented as live, is actually filmed on Saturday night after the main live show.
This cost-saving strategy has led to results leaking online for years, and this year is no different.
The contestants in the bottom two and the details of the judges’ votes have been disclosed.
The Sun has chosen not to reveal the identity of the eliminated celebrity to maintain the element of surprise for viewers.
However, we have shared some of the stunned reactions.
One user took to social media to comment: “This series is incredibly hard to predict. No contestant has consistently remained in the top 3 of the polls each week.”
Another remarked: “They could have improved in the dance off, but based on tonight's performance, that seems like the wrong call.”
A fan expressed: “I swear they were higher on the leaderboard? Was there a mistake or something?”
One person mused: “No way,” while another posted: “It was close between the two scores, though, so it could have gone either way. I love them both.”
Another bluntly stated on X: “This is becoming a farce.”
Understanding the Strictly Curse
STRICTLY Come Dancing's latest season has already been plagued by rumors of the BBC show's 'curse' – but what exactly is it?
Many stars of Strictly Come Dancing have been affected over the past two decades.
This phenomenon occurs when celebrities, who may or may not be in relationships outside the show, develop a deeper bond with their professional partners.
It is said that several partnerships have been impacted during the show’s 20-year run.
Couples have faced relationship breakdowns due to dance floor romances and demanding rehearsal schedules.
This includes the partnerships of Louise and Jamie Redknapp, as well as Kevin Clifton and Karen Hauer.
Controversially, a judge once stated about the curse: “I view it as a blessing, to be honest. One partner is married, and the other had a girlfriend, but my point is that if you come on Strictly, sometimes you are in a relationship that isn’t working anyway.”
“There has to be something wrong in your relationship before everything goes awry.”
Series one winner Brendan Cole ended his engagement to fellow Strictly professional Camilla Dallerup during the filming of the very first season in spring 2004.
Brendan was rumored to have developed feelings for his celebrity partner and inaugural winner, although the pair did not confirm a romantic involvement.
During Saturday’s episode, Vicky and Kai topped the leaderboard with 39 points.
Meanwhile, La Voix and Aljaz were at the bottom with 29.
Claims of Favouritism
During the show, fans also alleged that producers were showing “favouritism” toward a particular celebrity contestant.
Lewis Cope, who has faced criticism for his prior dancing experience, and his dance partner were the first to perform in week seven of the hit show.
Because the pair performed their Cha Cha first, fans speculated this indicated that the former actor might be a favorite among the show’s producers.
“Lewis and Katya first….let the favouritism begin…” remarked one viewer.
Another wrote: “Lewis going first again. Didn’t he perform first a couple of weeks ago?”
Following their Cha Cha, the judges awarded the pair a total score of 35 out of 40.
