STRICTLY Come Dancing fans are left stunned after the eviction show result leaked online – revealing the identity of the star who will miss next week’s Blackpool Special.

Many viewers of the BBC One program were up in arms over what they called the ‘totally unfair’ outcome of week eight – claiming the judges had ‘had it with the dumped celebrity’.

They also focused on the Strictly Come Dancing voting process as a whole.

With the results show airing on BBC One tonight, The Sun has decided to keep the identity of the hapless star under wraps.

Still, we can report that head judge Shirley Ballas is being forced to use her increased power on the panel to make a casting decision.

Her choice after the dance-off, revealed on a strictly spoiler page on X, has now divided fans.

People were furious with X: “Unfortunately, the jury members were looking forward to it from the start.

“I thought they always seemed very nice and their dancing got better every week.”

Another put it simply: “Disagree with that result.”

A third added: “Both couples right dance had the weakest dances tonight. Although I am surprised that the votes were even among the judges”

Another mused: “Not surprised at the two couples in the dance-off, not surprised it was so close, but it feels like they eliminated the wrong couple.”

Other viewers took aim at the voting process itself.

On Saturday, the jury scores will see the stars on the leaderboard.

At the bottom of the table this week were Shayne Ward and Nancy Xu with their Rumba, who scored 30 points.

Jointly were Jamie Borthwick and Michelle Tsiakkas, who achieved the same score, for their moody Argentine Tango.

But then the public has a chance to vote and potentially completely change the outcome.

After the bottom two are revealed on Sunday’s show, the judges will decide who gets to make the save.

But if the outcome is tied, Shirley’s vote will be decisive.

One fan has now taken to social media following the week eight results to moan: “The judges’ vote is completely unfair?

“If two jurors save one… then the other two save another, that’s two each? How can it be that it only comes down to Shirley’s vote??

‘Absolutely unfair! What is the point of the jury votes? Might as well let Shirley decide?’

Another added: ‘It’s wrong that one person’s vote carries more weight than the other three.

“Either they have five judges, or they have to discuss as a panel who to choose, or they have to eliminate whoever scored the lowest or something like that.”

In Saturday’s extremely emotional program fans were left in tears at Pete Wicks’ heartbreaking reaction after his Couple’s Choice routine in memory of his grandmother.

Strictly professional Dianne Buswell’s sweet words for her partner Chris McCausland also came to light after their Couple’s Choice.

Fans too chided Shirley for bullying Jamie for his routine, set to the Arctic Monkeys.

She too exclaimed two huge clues suggesting former Corrie star Shayne could be leaving.
