Strictly Come Dancing fans have been left ‘gutted’ after the latest dance-off results were leaked early – revealing a Halloween disaster for one couple.
Those who faced the latest dreaded dance-off of the 2025 series and the couple who were therefore eliminated is often revealed weekly online ahead of it being aired on TV, which in this case will be on Sunday (November 2) night.
It comes after week six of the BBC One dance contest took place on Saturday night (November) with just 10 couples left to perform during the show’s annual Halloween special.
It was a spooktacular night in the ballroom as actor Lewis Cope and dancer Katya Jones scored the first perfect 40 of the 2025 series.
The former Emmerdale star, 30, and the professional dancer, 36, wore matching suits for their couple’s choice to Creep by Radiohead, during which Lewis did some tap dancing.
Judge Craig Revel Horwood started clapping after their Halloween-inspired dance and told them: “I liked that – spooktacular!”
Head judge Shirley Ballas said she was “having an emotional moment” and Anton Du Beke added: “There is nothing you could have done for that dance to have made it any better.”
Also competing for the top spot was former Lioness Karen Carney and dancer Carlos Gu, who received 38 points for their Peaky Blinders-inspired Argentine tango to Red Right Hand by Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds.
Anton said the dance “was extraordinarily good” and Shirley told Karen “you absolutely smashed the choreography”.

Joint third on the score board with 35 points each was Love Island star Amber Davies and dancer Nikita Kuzmin, drag performer La Voix and Aljaz Skorjanec, and actress Alex Kingston and Johannes Radebe.
Theatre star Amber and dancer Nikita performed a Viennese waltz to I See Red by Everybody Loves An Outlaw, and actress Alex and Johannes were praised for their salsa to Horny by Hot ‘n’ Juicy and Mousse T.
Shirley praised drag artist La Voix and Aljaz’s dramatic paso doble to Beethoven’s Symphony No 5, which came as as surprise to the couple after she scored them two points during Icons Week just two weeks ago.
But, some Strictly fans have been left in complete shock after a leaked spoiler revealed which couples landed in the latest dreaded dance-off and which ultimately left the competition.
The results show airs on Sunday but is pre-recorded on the Saturday night after the live show, meaning that the name of the axed star is often leaked online and while the Manchester Evening News won’t be revealing the bottom two or exit results, fans have already been reacting online.

@courtenaywrites shared: “What a poor decision!” @xViCkIx_ posted: “Oh wow! wasn’t quite there time yet I Don’t think, but… also not a total shocker.” @Steph832 added: “Gutted about this one.”
