BBC Morning Live's Gethin Jones accidentally 'lets slip' Strictly spoiler days before first show

Morning Live presenter Gethin Jones appeared to accidentally reveal a major Strictly Come Dancing spoiler during Wednesday's programme.

At the start of the show, Gethin and Helen Skelton discussed the upcoming segments, which featured a dance lesson from Neil.

This Saturday, Neil and his fellow professionals will be matched with their celebrity partners for the 2025 series; however, not every professional dancer will receive a celebrity companion.

Yet Gethin seemed to accidentally disclose that Neil hadn't been given a partner this year.

Neil was explaining to the presenters which dance move he would be demonstrating when the cringe-worthy moment occurred, reports Wales Online.

As footage of Karim Zeroual and Amy Dowden was shown, the dancer remarked, "We are going to be taking this little move here.

"The hips, and I am sure Gethin is going to be getting behind me as well, trying to do the exact same movement.

"But that is what we are going to be working on. I honestly cannot believe that is week one.

"Neil just wants a dance partner; he won't let it go, will he?" Gethin quipped to Helen. "He is even asking me now.

"You'll be behind him emotionally...literally, "Helen responded.

Gethin continued, "I am here for you this year."

Recognising what her co-presenter had revealed, Helen swiftly attempted to progress with the programme by outlining other upcoming features, including a segment about shoplifting.

Despite Strictly Come Dancing chiefs' best efforts to keep the celebrity pairings a secret, due to the show being pre-recorded, the partnerships often find their way online before the programme is broadcast.

BBC Morning Live airs weekdays at 9.30am on BBC One.
