Strictly Come Dancing judge Anton Du Beke has urged the infamous Strictly mole to stop leaking the results ahead of the Sunday night show.
While appearing on ITV’s Loose Women on Tuesday (Oct 18), Anton expressed his frustrations regarding the fact that some viewers may discover who leaves the show before it is aired on BBC One.
The leaked information can be found on online blogs and dedicated social media pages which provide accurate insight into who has been booted off the programme.

But while talking on Loose Women, professional dancer Anton begged the culprit to stop.
He said: “It gets on my nerves. Please stop. I don’t know who you are but please stop. Don’t do it. Why would you do it? Nobody knows who it is.

“The audience, like the people who go to [Agatha Christie murder mystery play] The Mousetrap for example, which has been going for years, we’re all in it together.
“Knowledge is power and all that sort of stuff, everyone has an agreement we won’t say anything, so I don’t know who does it.
“They call you a spoiler for a reason – because you’re a spoiler. Don’t do it… Try to stop spoiling it please, because people don’t want to know.”
Last week, the Strictly mole struck again and sent the results to superfan Dave Thorp, who disclosed that Matt Goss and Nadiya Bychkova would be going home.

And despite the backlash and controversy, Dan declared that he will continue to share the results to his followers.
Due to the fact that Strictly films the results show on Saturday but it is aired the following day, some have suggested that BBC producers should change the format altogether.
However, this may cost the broadcaster a lot of money in the long run.

Speaking to Daily Mail, a TV insider said: “Some people have said the BBC should consider filming two live shows — one on Saturday and one on Sunday — but doing that would cost huge amounts of money.
“Others have suggested that the results show should air directly after the main show, but that denies fans the chance of two helpings of their favourite programme over consecutive nights.
“The lesser of the evils is simply to ignore any online chatter about who is in the dance off and who has been sent home.”
