(You can now subscribe to our Economic Times WhatsApp channel )Newsquest will not reveal the details of which two celebrities found themselves in the bottom two since these results have not been verified (and to not spoil tonight's programme). During last night’s show (November 23), two couples found themselves at the top of the leaderboard, with the combined scores from their dance routines and points from the Samba-Thon. JLS star JB Gill and Love Island favourite Tasha Ghouri (along with their professional dance partners) ended the night with a score of 46 each. During their lively Charleston to Yes Sir! That’s My Baby by Firehouse Five Plus Two, JB flipped Lauren Oakley upside down and in a cartwheel spin and showed off his quick footwork before completing a series of dramatic lifts. Head judge Shirley Ballas thanked JB for bringing “so much joy” to the dance floor, while Craig Revel Horwood praised the routine as “pure class”. As the results show for Strictly is filmed on the same night as the rest of the show, but broadcast a day later, it allows people who are in the crowd for filming to know who is eliminated ahead of time. Due to this, the results were leaked on social media late last night and those who found out which celebrity left in week 10 “gasped” and claimed "wrong person to go". A post shared by BBC Strictly (@bbcstrictly) This person wrote on X: “oh i GASPED that’s so insane???” “No way what the hell,” tweeted another. “Shocked !! What the hell,” shared this account. Someone else added: “Noooo omg wrong person to go.” One fan posted: “Neither should have been in dance off. That's a shame.” Recommended reading: In agreement, a viewer commented: “Disgraceful neither should have been there!!!!” Others said they were “gutted for them” and “no way...this is a joke!!” The Strictly Come Dancing result show will air on Sunday, November 24 on BBC One and iPlayer at 7.20pm.
