The Week 4 elimination for Strictly Come Dancing 2026 has leaked ahead of tonight's results show (October 18), leaving some fans 'gutted' and 'shocked'.

Newsquest will not reveal the details of which two celebrities found themselves in the bottom two since these results have not been verified, and so as not to spoil the programme.

Last night saw the judges get involved in icons week festivities, as Craig Revel Horwood and Anton Du Beke channelled Britpop band Oasis and sported khaki parkas and bowl cuts to resemble the Gallagher brothers.

Strictly Week 4 elimination leaks as fans left 'absolutely gutted'

As the results show for Strictly Come Dancing is filmed on the same night as the rest of the show, but broadcast a day later, it allows people who are in the crowd for filming to know who is eliminated ahead of time.

The outcome of the Week 4 dance-off was revealed online this morning by the Strictly Spoiler account.

Some fans were left disappointed, with one saying: "I'm absolutely gutted for the couple that left. As I thought it was the song and theme which sealed their fate as the song didn't match dance style.

"I'm really shocked about the other couple who were in the bottom 2 but they didn't have their best dance this week."

But another wrote: "Not surprised by this."

Strictly to feature tributes to Madonna and Dolly Parton for icons week

Strictly Come Dancing’s results show will pay tribute to Madonna and Dolly Parton for icons week.

The results show tonight is due to feature a performance from the dancers inspired by the many different eras of Madonna’s career.

The country singer Belles, who recorded a duet with Parton earlier this year, will perform her hit Jolene, accompanied by a performance from dancers Amy Dowden and Kai Widdrington.

Parton, one of the most successful country stars of all time, died of cancer in August at the age of 80.
