The week six elimination for Strictly Come Dancing 2026 has leaked ahead of Sunday's (November 1) results show, with fans being "absolutely devastated" by the reveal.
Newsquest will not reveal the names of the bottom three or the eliminated contestant to avoid spoilers, as the results have not been officially confirmed.
Saturday's (October 31) episode was a Halloween special, with the remaining couples looking to impress judges Shirley Ballas, Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse, and Anton Du Beke to progress.
There was extra jeopardy this week as the dance-off would involve three couples for the first time ever.
Lacey Turner and Vito Coppola ended up topping the leaderboard with a score of 36.
Despite coming first in Week 5, Tabby Stoecker and Mark Karmalita ended up joint-bottom on 25 points along with Graeme Hall and Lauren Oakley.

Strictly Come Dancing viewers react to Week 6 elimination leak
So far, four couples have been eliminated from the 2026 series:
- Chris Appleton and Amy Dowden (Week 2)
- Melanie Walters and Aljaz Skorjanec (Week 3)
- Dame Sarah Storey and Julian Caillon (Week 4)
- Shaun Wright-Phillips and Alexis Warr (Week 5)
There was no elimination in week one.
Because the results show is filmed on Saturday night with the main live programme, audience members often reveal the outcome online before the official results are broadcast on Sunday.
This week, the elimination has once again been leaked by the Strictly Spoiler account.
There was a slightly mixed response from fans, with some surprised this specific contestant was knocked out.
One posted to X: "Absolutely devastated."
Another commented: "Absolutely the wrong decision."
A third shared: "oh god no lost a fave of mine wasn't expecting that."
Meanwhile, another theorised: "They would not have been in the danceoff under the normal rules.
"Likely the twist was designed specifically for this purpose."
Some people agreed with the choice though, as another said: "Sadly this was the correct result I had a feeling that this couple would leave. 2 of my predicted bottom 3 were in the bottom 3 .
"It's such a shame for the person who left but I think the correct couple went home."
