Spoiler alert: Bethany Antonia and professional partner Nancy Xu are reported to have left Strictly Come Dancing in Week 7 after a dance-off against Cach Mercer and Maddie Ingoldsby. The report comes from The Strictly Spoiler, which says it obtained the result from its own source. The outcome had not yet been confirmed on the BBC results broadcast when this article was checked.
The official reveal is scheduled for Sunday, November 8, at 7:10 p.m. London time, GMT (UTC+00:00), on BBC One and BBC iPlayer. Until then, the reported elimination and the judges’ reported decisions should be treated as a spoiler rather than a confirmed broadcast result.
Destaques
The advance report identifies actress Bethany Antonia and Nancy Xu as the eliminated couple. It says they competed in the dance-off against Cach Mercer and Maddie Ingoldsby, and that the judges were split over which pair to save.
According to the spoiler source, Craig Revel Horwood and Motsi Mabuse favored saving Bethany and Nancy, while Anton Du Beke and Shirley Ballas favored Cach and Maddie. The report says Ballas’s casting vote decided the outcome. Those details are attributed to the spoiler source and remain subject to the BBC’s televised result.
That distinction matters for anyone checking the news before Sunday evening: an advance report can tell readers what a source says happened, but the broadcast is where viewers can see the dance-off and hear the judges’ decisions for themselves. No official Week 7 elimination was available to confirm at the time of this check.
Saturday’s performance show placed Dani Dyer and Nikita Kuzmin first with 36 out of 40 for their American Smooth. Their score included a 10 from Motsi Mabuse. Tabby Stoecker and Mark Karmalita followed on 33, with Delta Goodrem and Kai Widdrington on 31.
Bethany and Nancy scored 30 for their Foxtrot, the same total as Lacey Turner and Vito Coppola. At the bottom of the judges’ table, Cach and Maddie and John Nellis and Katya Jones each received 26. The figures show the judges’ assessment of Saturday’s routines; they do not by themselves establish the Sunday result.
A couple’s position on the leaderboard is only one part of the process. Viewers also vote, and the combined standings determine which couples are at risk of the dance-off. A higher judges’ score therefore does not guarantee that a pair will avoid it. The reported dance-off would illustrate that distinction: Bethany and Nancy scored four points more than Cach and Maddie on Saturday, but both are named in the advance report.
Jaime Winstone did not dance with Carlos Gu on Saturday after being advised to rest because of a torn abdominal muscle. She said she hoped to recover in time to continue. Under the show’s arrangements, the couple received a bye through this week, conditional on her being able to return.
A bye is different from an elimination: it gives a couple a chance to remain in the competition despite missing a week, but it does not establish that the injured celebrity will be medically ready for the next show. Viewers will need to wait for an update on Winstone’s recovery and participation.
Lawrence Robb and Jowita Przystał left after Halloween Week’s three-couple dance-off. Bethany and Nancy and Jaime and Carlos were the other pairs involved. That was the previous week’s confirmed exit, not the Week 7 result.
The archived BBC series information records that Halloween outcome and the judges’ decisions. It provides useful context for Bethany and Nancy’s Week 7 position: they had already survived a dance-off before Saturday’s Foxtrot.
Sunday’s results show is expected to reveal which couples continue and which pair leaves after the dance-off. If the advance report is confirmed, Cach and Maddie will continue while Bethany and Nancy’s competition will end. Until it airs, viewers should keep the reported outcome separate from the officially televised decision.
The next performance show will also depend on whether Jaime and Carlos can return. For the remaining contestants, strong marks offer an advantage, but the Week 7 standings underline why the public vote and the judges’ eventual dance-off decision both matter.
A spoiler report says Bethany and Nancy Xu were eliminated. The result had not yet been confirmed in the BBC broadcast when checked.
It is scheduled for November 8, 2026, at 7:10 p.m. in London, GMT (UTC+00:00), on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
