Brendan Cole claims 'it's an inside job' as he hits out at Strictly results show mole
The identity of the eliminated pair is leaked every week
Strictly Come Dancing ex pro Brendan Cole has hit out at the mole leaking the show’s results each week.
Speaking exclusively to Entertainment Daily for Sky Vegas, the dancer said: “The Strictly result leaks do spoil the enjoyment of the results show, but only if you go looking for the leaks! If you don’t, it’s fine.”
He added: “I’d love to know who’s doing it. It can’t just be fans in the audience. Those tickets are like gold dust, and you can’t get them every week. So, I’d probably say it’s an inside job somewhere along the line. Someone’s passing the information on.”
He finished: “But honestly, people could just wait until Sunday – it’s not that long!”
Fans have expressed their displeasure with Strictly results show mole
The identity of the individual leaking the results is unknown, but viewers have been reacting with annoyance over the repeated leaks, as well as the decision to film Sunday’s show the night before.
“As usual now spoilers on results leaked late Saturday night online yet again and was too easy to see result again Sunday morning,” said one fan on X.
Another said: “This results show could (as usual) be half the length. And while they continue to film it on Saturday night to save money, they can’t not expect the result to be leaked.”
One more opined: “I can’t believe these spoilers! It’s so unfair to the contestants who work so hard. We need to stop ruining the surprises!”
Chris and Nadiya were the last couple to be eliminated
At the weekend, Chris Robshaw and Nadiya Bychkova became the third couple to be eliminated from the show, with their departure being spoiled before Sunday’s results show aired.
Brendan did claim that Chris may have escaped the bottom two had the judges not overmarked other contestants, though…
He said: “I would have scored most of the show quite differently, compared to what the judges’ scored. Some people were getting high marks for dances that weren’t particularly good, and others were marked low when they deserved slightly higher scores.
“La Voix’s score of two was probably about right – she barely got a step out. Stefan [Dennis] was undermarked, and Chris [Robshaw] was scored fairly, but when others are being marked so highly, it skews the leaderboard.
“If the scoring was more accurate across the board, someone like Chris might’ve avoided the dance-off altogether. I would’ve saved him. It was a good number for him, and it felt harsh to see him go.”
On Monday (October 20), Stefan Dennis and Dianne Buswell withdrew from the show due to an injury Stefan acquired during their Charleston two days before. He tore his calf muscle during the dance to Tones & I’s Dance Monkey.
The Icons Week live show starts at 6.20pm on BBC One on Saturday October 25, 2025. Strictly Come Dancing: The Results will return the following night on BBC One at 7.15pm.
