Strictly’s Anton Du Beke urges the mole to STOP leaking the dance-off results

Anton Du Beke has urged the Strictly Come Dancing mole to stop spoiling the show’s results, amid claims bosses are refusing to change their format to prevent the leak.

The dancer, who is now on the jury, told the Loose Women panel that viewers “don’t want to know” who will be eliminated before it airs on Sunday’s results show, adding that it “gets on his nerves.”

It comes after sources claimed bosses have decided they won’t resize Strictly to prevent the mole from spoiling who gets dumped, and any plans to change their current results show plans have been scrapped.

Asked about his opinion on the so-called ‘Strictly mole’, Anton said: ‘It gets on my nerves. Please stop. I don’t know who you are, but please stop. Do not do it. Why would you do it? Nobody knows who it is.

“The audience, like the people who go to The Mousetrap, for example, which has been going for years, we’re all in it together.

“Knowledge is power and things like that, everyone has an agreement that we don’t say anything, so I don’t know who does it.

Over the weekend, The Mail On Sunday reported that Strictly bosses are on the hunt for a public mole who, before the Sunday night results are aired, leaks the identity of the celebrity who has been voted out.

But now it has been reported that options for the BBC to film two live shows on different nights or to broadcast the entire show in one night have been turned down by show bosses.

The names will be passed on to super fan Dave Thorp, who will announce them on his website – and tweet the link to his 55,000 followers on Saturday around 11:30 pm.

This weekend, he revealed that Matt Goss, 54, was the third celebrity to go home after finishing in the bottom two with his partner Nadiya Bychkova.

He took on Kym Marsh, 46, and Graziano Di Prima’s in the dance-off and the judges ultimately chose to send Matt home over the Coronation Street actress.

After the leak, Dave vowed to continue publishing the results every week, which are pre-recorded on Saturdays and then broadcast on Sundays.

A TV insider said: ‘Some people have said the BBC should consider filming two live shows, one on Saturday and one on Sunday, but that would cost huge amounts.

Others have suggested that the results should air right after the main show, but that deprives fans of the chance to get two servings of their favorite show on consecutive nights.

The least of all evils is ignoring any online chatter about who’s in the dance-off and who’s been sent home. Or just ignore social media as much as possible.”

A representative of Strictly declined to comment when MailOnline contacted him.

Last week, Twitter was flooded with reports that Radio 2’s Richie Anderson had been unexpectedly voted out after losing the dance-off to singer Fleur East.

A Strictly source told The Mail on Sunday: ‘For years the majority of the public were unaware that the Sunday show was pre-recorded, but recently the results have been leaked, spoiling the suspense. Those running the show want to know who’s leaking — and fast. What really baffles them is that it has to be the same person every week.”

The Strictly audience at Elstree Studios is being taken from their phones while filming. Tickets are given to friends and families of the participants, and drawn to members of the public in a vote.

But the weekly leak has pressured the BBC to return to broadcasting the results live on a Sunday, as it had been until 2008. The schedule was changed as the late Bruce Forsyth – then 80 years old – struggled to spend two nights in line. The current presenters, Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman, are 53 and 50.

Thorp urged the Corporation to return to a live show on Sundays. He said: ‘I’m just a fan who thinks it’s ridiculous that when information can be sent in the blink of an eye, the BBC would still think it’s a good idea to pre-record and broadcast the results of their flagship reality series. it a whole day later.

“If they don’t want the result to leak out, they can do something really simple: broadcast the results live.”
