Predict The 2019 Couples – The Results

Over the last few weeks I have been asking you to predict which of the celebrities will be partnered with which of the professional dancers and the results are in! So here in lovely tabular format (formatting may be a bit weird depending on the device you are using – sorry about that) are the results of all 15 polls from this series

The Strictly Spoiler 2019 Competition

The Strictly Spoiler competition is back once again for 2019 and this series I have the biggest prizes I have ever given away available to be won

There will be two competitions running this series. A monthly one and a weekly one with massive prizes for each of the competitions

Monthly Competition

I have 3 Apple iPads to give away. One in October, one in November and one in December.

To stand a chance of winning one all you have to do is join the discussion on any of my posts on Facebook or Twitter (ensuring you are liking/following the respective profiles) or here at the home of The Strictly Spoiler

On Facebook simply comment on any of the posts I make in a promotional period for your chance to win

On Twitter simply reply to any of my tweets ensuring you tag @davejthorp and include the hashtag #StrictlySpoiler

Or you can join the discussion right here in the comments section on any post for your chance to win too.

Prize draws will take place on 1st November, 1st December and the final draw will take place in December a few days after the final

Weekly Competition

As well as the massive monthly prizes I also have a £50 Amazon UK voucher to give away each and every spoiler week of the 2019 series to one lucky person on either Facebook or Twitter.

Each week there will be a post sent out on each of those networks for the weekly competition. You will also need a password (which will be cunningly linked with Strictly in some way) which will be contained somewhere within the weekly spoiler posts. Simply reply to the competition posts with that week’s password and the hashtag #StrictlySpoilerComp for your chance to win

Entries will close when the not live results show begins and draws will take place when it finishes
