This week's Strictly spoiler has leaked a result which proved to be an 'upset' to predictions on who might win the show this year, as fans are divided by the outcome.

The judges were full of praise for the couples on Saturday night's show, with fans at home equally impressed with what they saw on screen, as plenty of contestants upping their game, with a ticket to Blackpool up for grabs.

After both tasting disappointment by being in the dance off twice, both Fleur East and Molly Rainford earned series high scores, as they bid to avoid the same fate once again.

Fleur left Motsi Mabuse in tears, as she and pro partner Vito Coppola performed their samba.

Molly, together with Carlos Gu, also got a rave reaction from the judges for their rumba to Whitney Houston's All The Man I Need.

During an emotional night in the Strictly ballroom , Kym Marsh performed a routine for her son Archie, who died at birth, while Will Mellor danced for his late father.

Whilst putting in another entertaining performance, Tony Adams once again found himself at the bottom of the leaderboard, after his and Katya Jones' jive to Land of Thousand Dances. Other than Tony being adrift at the foot of the standings, there wasn't much between the other couples, with Kym, Tyler West and Ellie Taylor all on the same score.

Unlike the last two weeks, where the wait for the Strictly spoiler has gone into Sunday morning, the result leaked on Twitter just after 11.30pm on Saturday. And, on seeing it, one fan reacted: "gutted, really wanted them to make blackpool," with another tweeting: "Judges desperately overscoring to keep people in."

Others, in a rare for the new series, said the result was 'right,' while others were more shocked about the identity of one of the couples in the dance-off.
