Strictly Come Dancing bosses ‘introduce emergency rules to stop spoilers being leaked’

Strictly Come Dancing bosses are reportedly bringing in emergency measures to prevent more spoilers from leaking, after the celebrity pairings were revealed online a week before the hit BBC show starts.

The Strictly Spoiler Twitter account, which accurately spoils the results of each week before the programme airs, has now seemingly revealed which celeb has been matched with which pro dancer.

The Strictly Spoiler website has been running for years now but last year those working at the show appeared fed up by the show being spoiled every week.

During Strictly's run last year professional dancer turned judge Anton Du Beke appeared on an episode of Loose Women where he begged for the "mole" to stop leaking the results.

And according to the Daily Mail, Strictly bosses are concerned that it's not just the live audience who is leaking results but that there is also a "mole" working on the show.

An insider told the outlet: "Enough is enough, it isn't fair on the fans, they look forward to tuning in to see who will be dancing together.

"So now procedures are being put in place to see if the mole can be caught though it's tricky because there are so many people involved with Strictly but the bosses are determined to nail he or she."

OK! have contacted representatives for the BBC.

Strictly bosses appear to have decided that "enough is enough" after the celeb pairings were leaked after the launch show was recorded on Wednesday night, after which an "audience mole" revealed the pairings to Strictly Spoiler.

Amid last year's spoilers backlash, David Thorp, who runs the Strictly Spoiler website defended himself to the MailOnline, telling the publication: "I'm just providing a service and am not spoiling anyone's enjoyment.

"I don't put the results for everyone to see and they have to search for my site to find out the results. There is an appetite from people who want to know the results before Sunday.

"It could be argued that the BBC is to blame for recording something which is of massive interest the day before."

David has also insisted that there is no "mole" and he does not have a "source" working on the show, but receives tips from audience members there on the night.

However, it seems that despite David's insistence that there's no mole, bosses aren't the BBC aren't so convinced.
