Strictly Come Dancing Star Lewis Cope Accidentally Uploads Behind-the-Scenes Footage Ahead of Launch

Strategic Insights -

Lewis Cope, a Strictly Come Dancing contestant, inadvertently shared behind-the-scenes footage of this year's hopefuls on his Instagram account, sparking concerns about spoilers ahead of the show's launch. The clip, which showed the cast smiling in their Strictly outfits, was quickly deleted by the 30-year-old actor. This incident comes on the heels of a potential pairing leak on social media, which left fans upset.

Cope's mishap may have been a result of panic about revealing spoilers in the clip. The Strictly Come Dancing team typically keeps everything under wraps until the series update. The leaked footage revealed the identities of this year's contestants, including Vicky Pattison, Tom Skinner, Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, and Danni Dyer, among the 15 famous faces taking part.

However, another apparent spoiler was leaked online earlier in the week when a fan account revealed the potential pairings for this year's contestants. While the pairings have not been officially confirmed, the Twitter/X account claimed to have the correct couples. The leak sparked concerns about spoilers and disrespect to those working on the show.

In a separate incident, Thomas Skinner, also a Strictly contestant, caused a stir by storming out of a press conference earlier in the week. He explained that he felt uncomfortable after catching a glimpse of a journalist's phone screen, which displayed messages from his past.
