Strictly Come Dancing fans were left blindsided on Saturday night, after the elimination result was leaked once again.

Musicals Week saw the five remaining couples take to the dancefloor, with a perfect score, plenty of tears and even an appearance from Paddington Bear.

Fans did not hesitate and immediately took to social media to share their frustrations with the result.

One said: 'My jaw just hit the floor' and another shared that they were 'absolutely gutted' by the elimination.

Many have predicted an intense Sunday show with such a 'wild' and 'totally shocking' outcome.

Strictly fans have previously shared their frustration at similar leaks throughout the series. Daily Mail is choosing not to name the couple that has been eliminated. 

Following Saturday's show another penned: 'Tonight I feel the judges were told to, bar any massive mistakes, score the couples the same so whoever is in the dance off, it's the public's ''fault''.'

The official results will be shared on Sunday at 7.45pm. 

Musicals Week featured McFly's Tom Fletcher alongside Paddington Bear singing a song from the brand new West End musical. 

George Clarke had opened Musicals Week with his pro partner Alexis Warr as they performed an Argentine Tango to The Point of No Return from The Phantom of the Opera.

Last week he said of musicals: 'I hate them. I just sort of skip the music parts. That's if I'm watching them on a TV, I don't just get up and go to the toiler if I'm at a theatre.'

Following his performance, Claudia revealed legendary music composer Andrew Lloyd Webber - who is behind The Phantom of the Opera - had a message for him.

The 77-year-old then appeared on screen and said: 'Good evening, George. I have a message from the Phantom of the Opera.'

He continued to read out: 'Greetings, Monsieur George, I congratulate you on choosing the music of my legend tonight. 

'I trust that your conversion to musicals is now complete, lest a disaster should occur beyond your imagination. Your obedient servant, the opera ghost.'

Breaking character and smiling, Andrew concluded: 'Good luck, George.'

Stunned at the sweet message, George confirmed to Claudia he had now been converted as a fan of musicals.

The judges scored him 35 out of 40 for his performance. 

Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman opened the show for week 11 as their time at the helm also nears its end.  

Elsewhere, Karen Carney and Carlos Gu performed a Samba to The Rhythm of Life from Sweet Charity.

They received 34 points from the judges, placing them at the bottom of this week's leaderboard.

Amber Davies and Nikita Kuzmin continued their streak of 40 out of 40 with a Charleston to Sit Down, You're Rockin' The Boat from Guys and Dolls. 

However Amber came under criticism from fans for her dancing experience as they accused her of 'essentially doing her day job'. 

As well as Great Gatsby Amber has also starred in West End productions of Pretty Woman, 9 to 5 The Musical, Back To The Future and is due to star in Legally Blonde.

Taking to Twitter viewers penned: 'Amber just essentially doing her day job. Bound to get a 40';

'I do like Amber but performing in musicals is her day job so a 40 is imminent!!';

'Amber has just come out of The Great Gatsby, where she did the Charleston every night.'

Another fan asked: '#Strictly can we please get back to having stars who have no dance experience. Its crazy to have someone, as an example, that dances in music theatre competing. 

'Not to mention others who competed in a TV dance comp previously.'

Unfortunately the night didn't go as expected for Lewis Cope and his partner Katya Jones were the last to perform.

They performed a Salsa to Dance at the Gym from West Side Story, receiving 35 points from the judges who had less than favourable comments for him.

Strictly Come Dancing: The Result will air on Sunday at 7:45pm on BBC One and iPlayer.
