Strictly faces major scheduling change as bosses face leaking crisis | The Sun
STRICTLY Come Dancing bosses face a major scheduling change to block a mole from leaking which celeb has been voted off.
BBC execs are considering filming the usually pre-recorded results show on Sundays instead to plug the leaks.
The leaking is currently possible as Sunday night's results show is filmed immediately after Saturday night's live show – with the Strictly studio audience then sworn to secrecy.
The audience have their phones removed during filming, with the crowd made up of family and friends of those taking part and members of the public.
While this format took place until 2008, it was changed as the late Bruce Forsyth struggled to host two nights in a row.
Now, pressure is being put on the BBC show to film their shows separately – to prevent the results show from being spoiled.
