Strictly Come Dancing viewers have been left outraged after the results of Saturday's show were leaked once again, ahead of next week's grand final.
The BBC competition is set to air the prerecorded results show on Sunday night, revealing which two couples received the least votes and ended up in the dance-off.
But, a notorious mole on the flagship show has revealed the bottom two couples and which of them will be sent packing and narrowly missing the final.
And while the latest spoiler has left fans 'sad' and 'disappointed', they have taken to social media to praise the remaining four as 'deserving' finalists.
They wrote: 'Sad about the spoiler but they all deserve to be in that final! Well done to the finalists'; 'i'm happy my favourite got to the final!'
'right decision by a long way - so happy with the final four'; 'MY PREDICTED FINALISTS WE'RE RIGHT SINCE WEEK 1 AHH YESS!!'

'The right result and should be a great final. And for once I’d be happy for any of the final four to win.'; 'No that is not the right result!!!'; 'well that’s a relief i’m happy with that result!'
Although I am disappointed it was the right result & it’s what I expected.'; 'Fair. Excellent final 4 & will be a Christmas cracker next week'.
'Aww gutted by this result, but they were all so good they all deserve to be in that final. Congratulations to the finalists' ; 'Though it was fun ......the right one went home tonight.'
'Noooo absolutely gutted.'; 'The four I expected from Week 1, in the end. Felt like Jamie and/or Montell overtook one of them for a good portion of the series, but here we are.'
'Just seen the #Strictly spoiler I say scrap the public vote when it gets to the semi finals from next year. The overall winner needs to be judged on dancing merit not public popularity'; 'So happy! The right final 4!'
The remaining five couples all hoping to make it to next Saturday's grand final are Love Island star Tasha Ghouri and Aljaž Škorjanec, JLS singer JB Gill and Lauren Oakley, TOWIE star Pete Wicks and Jowita Przystal, actress Sarah Hadland and Vito Coppola and comedian Chris McCausland and Dianne Buswell.
However, The Mail reported this weekend that the Strictly judges are 'furious' that its most talented celebrity dancers are being booted off the show while the less able ones stay.
Craig Revel Horwood in particular is said to be 'stunned' at how the likes of athlete Montell Douglas and actor Jamie Borthwick have been evicted, while reality TV star Pete made it to the semi-final despite having far lower scores than fellow competitors.

Strictly has always regarded itself as more serious than other reality series, but the judges and some BBC bosses now fear that it is becoming a popularity contest.
Their concerns come after Pete and the programme's first blind contestant, Chris, made it to the semi-final - meaning at least one of them will make it through to next week's final.
The situation has created a dilemma, with insiders fearing the two men will win places at the expense of others, like Tasha and JB - who have received high scores.
A source told the Mail's Katie Hind: 'For the judges, this shift has been difficult. They are dancers and choreographers. Their entire careers - and lives - have been about being the best and the very best dancing.
'So to see the show becoming about who likes who the most rather than the quality of their dancing... you could say it is rather depressing.
'To think that Pete has had a risk-free journey on the show, while Tasha and Montell have faced the dance-off has made those at the top question what the future of Strictly looks like.

'It is turning into a popularity contest rather than a dance one.'
The insider added: 'Those watching at home love to watch beautiful dancing. It is joyous for them to watch a perfect performance.
'But the landscape has changed, and it is causing a bit of a crisis. We are looking at a final where the dancing is nowhere up to the standards it usually is, but instead has the celebrities that people actually enjoy watching.
'But the public vote, and they have the right to say who they want in the show.'
