The one-off Strictly episode was filmed last night and saw six new famous faces take to the dance floor to compete for the Glitterball trophy.
The line-up includes the likes of Gavin and Stacey icon Larry Lamb, CBeebies star George Webster and Girls Aloud singer Nicola Roberts.
However, as the show is pre-recorded, it faced the risk of the results leaking online which has frequently happened on the main show before.
And now, in true Strictly style, it seems a mole had been at the recording last night and has instantly shared the results online.
