Strictly results... how?

Sorry if this is a stupid question but this has puzzled me for years now.
I assume they film the Sunday night results show after the live Saturday night show as it would cost way too much money and be too much hassle to get everyone back and in costume etc the following day.
So, how on earth do they keep the results secret from the press/social media for a whole day? I mean I’m sure the audience and all the backstage staff have to sign some sort of confidentiality waiver or something but still.. you’d think it would still get out. And do the bookies take bets on the results because it seems a great way to make some money if you had the information beforehand?

There's a Twitter account called Strictly Spoiler which always announces the result on Saturday night

It does get out....ruth Langford tweeted about being kicked out on the Saturday night! Someone else spoke about it on their Sunday morning radio show... so it's not secrecy

And no bookies don't bet on the Sunday show as the event has already taken place so it's a sure loss for the bookies to take bets after the event!

There are websites you can visit with the results on. I guess that th bookies won't take bets.

I see, thank you!
Never knew how they did that!

A friend works behind the scenes on strictly, they film the results straight after the Saturday show all on a Saturday night.

There's a spoiler thread on digital spy every Saturday.

Vegisgrowingwell · 02/12/2018 21:08

I always find out on a Saturday night as I have waiting!!!

JaiNotJay · 02/12/2018 21:12

Yeah, I check the Strictly Spoiler website on Saturday night. But I usually still watch the results show anyway!

Kezzie200 · 02/12/2018 21:12

They dont really!

I read a spoiler thread on Digital Spy and know by about 11 most Saturdays. Theres a twitter spoiler too.

Its only right to keep quiet though. Would ruin it for others who like to watch the programme first.

Ah, ok, that all makes sense now! Thanks
