Strictly Come Dancing fans fume as Christmas special winner leaks online

The winner of Strictly Come Dancing's Christmas special, which airs tomorrow, has leaked online, leaving the show's legion of loyal fans furious

Strictly Come Dancing has been sent into chaos after the winner of its Christmas special was leaked online.

The show's legion of loyal fans were looking forward to tuning into the festive episode on Christmas Day in which celebrities, including comedian, Josh Widdicombe, and actress, Tamzin Outhwaite, will strut their stuff on the dancefloor. However, annoyingly, the winner of the pre-recorded show has already been revealed, which has left viewers fuming.

The Strictly Spoiler social media account and website regularly leaks the results of the main live show. And fans were furious when it spoiled the Christmas special. One vented on social media: "You know what’s worse than the weekly #Strictly spoiler, when the Christmas winner leaks." While another fumed: "Thanks for ruining my Christmas treat!"

The Strictly Spoiler website kindly informs readers that there is "no need to sit through the special whilst in a food coma or wait over three weeks to learn who wins the Christmas special". It adds: "Because my stocking is full to the brim of spoilers so here are the results," before sharing who won the glitzy Glitterball trophy during the Christmas Day special that is yet to be aired.

The Mirror has chosen not to reveal the name of the winner so viewers can still enjoy the star-studded competition, which is still one of the most popular shows on the BBC. Fans are in for a treat on Christmas Day as the Strictly studio is once again transformed into a magical winter wonderland, featuring a whole host of excitable celebrities.

Joining Josh and Tamzin are Vogue Williams, Olympian, Harry Aikines-Aryeetey, racing driver, Billy Monger and RuPaul's Drag Race UK star, Tayce.

Tayce, who will make Strictly history as the first drag queen to don the stage - and will dance with Kai Widdrington - sounded suitably excited about the festive episode, telling the BBC: "I cannot wait to sleigh on the Strictly Ballroom floor. My partner and I are going to dance for our lives! In all seriousness, it’s an incredible honour to be the first Drag artist to be taking part in Strictly Come Dancing. I hope I do all of my Drag Race and Welsh fans proud! Sign me up for all the glitz, glam and discoballs."

Meanwhile, Billy, who will dance with Kai's ex, Nadiya Bychkova, said: "I've spent the last 12 months training 20 hours a week for an Ironman world record attempt, but the thought of donning sequins in front of Craig Revel Horwood fills me with a fear I've never experienced before. This is about as far from my comfort zone as it can get! My family are big Strictly fans, so I'm doing it for them and to raise awareness for what I’m doing for Comic Relief next year. I'm just hoping my leg doesn't fall off mid-dance!"

* The Strictly Come Dancing Christmas Special is on December, 25 at 3.55pm on on BBC One.
