"Is this scam would not give information to them," one incensed used on the social media platform commented on the so-called announcement. Another queried the leak, saying: "is that confirmed? this one is saying different."

A third added: "some shockers here." Another said: "so many people work incredibly hard to make strictly what it is each year, and leaking things early just for views is unfair and disrespectful. but of course it’s no surprise which couple of people can’t resist the spotlight…"

A fourth said: "Why ruin it with a spoiler." Earlier in the week there was potential chaos before the show had even started. Controversial contestant Tom stormed off from an interview for the show.

The former Apprentice star was being interviewed alongside the rest of the 2025 group at BBC's Elstree Studios on Tuesday when he abruptly stormed out. The contestant grabbed a reporter's phone after being asked a question as they asked him to stop.

A reporter had asked him what had motivated him to sign up for Strictly, but he realised that he was being recorded on a phone during the press event. "What's that?" he demanded, before he picked up the woman's phone and taking it from the table.

Following the incident, he took to Instagram Thomas has now taken to Instagram to set the record straight. Taking to his stories on Wednesday morning, he wrote: "To set the record straight of the back of yesterday. During one of the interviews, a journalist placed their phone on the table to record the conversation."

He went on: "I happened to catch a glimpse of the screen and saw numerous messages - not about Strictly but about a personal story from my past. I've been through some difficult times in my life, which I have worked hard to move on from.

"In that moment, seeing it there caught me off guard. I felt it was best to step away and gather myself.

"This had nothing to do with Strictly or the interviews themselves. I’m sorry I picked up someone else’s phone and I don’t even know if the journalist realised their messages were visible, and I don’t want to suggest any bad intentions on their part."

He concluded by saying: "What I do want to say is how excited I am to be part of Strictly this year. I’m so grateful for all the love, kindness and support I’ve been shown so far. It means the world to me, and I can’t wait to give it my all on that dancefloor. Bosh.”
