Strictly Come Dancing fans were left in tears after a real-time spoiler leak revealed the results of the show just hours after the Blackpool special aired on Saturday night. The remaining eight couples delivered stunning performances at the iconic Tower Ballroom, with Tasha Ghouri and Aljaž Škorjanec maintaining their top position on the leaderboard for the third consecutive week. Despite earning an impressive score of 39 out of 40, they narrowly missed a perfect score due to a mark deduction by judge Craig for their Paso Doble.
Sharing the top spot with Tasha and Aljaž were Sarah Hadland and Vito Coppola, who also scored 39 points for their captivating routine to Padam Padam by Kylie Minogue. The evening saw a range of personal bests, including blind comedian Chris McCausland and his partner Dianne Buswell receiving the highest score of the season for their American Smooth performance to “Jump” by Paul Anka. On the other end of the spectrum, Pete Wicks found himself at the bottom of the leaderboard with 27 points for his Cha Cha to “I’m Too Sexy” by Right Said Fred. Just above him was opera singer Wynne Evans and his partner Katya Jones with 31 points for their routine.
