Site Migration Complete

Took a bit longer than I originally expected but the site should now be back up for most users!

Some elements of the site move had to be done manually and also it took a while for the change of host to spread throughout the internet. Some people may still be pointing to the old host (virgin media in particular seem to be slow at updating their DNS) in which case they’ll see an “origin DNS” error rather than this post. This should clear up in the next few hours.

Thanks to everyone who donated using the donation button who made this site move possible. Whilst I didn’t manage to get a dedicated server I’ve done the next best thing which is something called a VPS. My new host also claims that under my package I should be able to cope with 300million page views a month. Maybe not test that too thoroughly but we’ll see how we go at the weekend.

The site will remain with this host now until the end of the series then I plan to move it back to a cheaper solution during the quieter period as I don’t really fancy paying £70 a month to host the site when cheaper solutions will be fine while Strictly isn’t on.

Donations will remain open and if you want to help out with next years hosting costs or simply want to buy me a pint you can donate using the button below (paypal will take a cut) or this link (all money goes to me)

Strictly Come Dancing 2017 – Christmas Special Spoilers

The festive grinch is back out to ruin Christmas for millions of Strictly viewers as several newspapers claimed last year. Or more accurately The Strictly Spoiler is back providing a highly demanded (so demanded it routinely breaks web servers) service for many thousands of Strictly viewers who all actively seek it out! But never let facts get in the way of lazy journalism. Incidentally if any journalists want to take issue with me posting the Christmas Special Spoiler much of what I wrote in last year’s Note To Editors is still valid! Shorter version however is that I’m doing this because thousands of people want me to. Anyway I’ve waffled on enough. Here for, those of you who want to know, are the Christmas Special results:

Participating were:

Jeremy Vine and Karen Clifton
Katie Derham and Brendan Cole
Colin Jackson and Amy Dowden
Robbie Savage and Diane Buswell
Judy Murray and Neil Jones
Kimberley Walsh and Pasha Kovalev

The special was won by Katie and Brendan

Complaints to the BBC

This spoiler has come from an audience mole from a group who have previously provided accurate spoilers and should be accurate.

Susan Calman Eliminated From Strictly Come Dancing 2017

As revealed in last night’s Strictly Spoiler, Susan and Kevin have been eliminated after losing in the dance off with Alexandra and Gorka.

You can relive their wonder woman themed samba from movie week in the video below:

Did the right couple leave? You can let me know your thoughts on that or anything else right here in the comments or on Facebook or Twitter using the links above.

Promised some winners but I’ve had a busy way looking into possible options to try and combat the site outages that have been occurring at peak time the last few weeks. They will be announced on the songs/dances post like last week.

Don’t forget that if you want to support the Strictly Spoiler and possibly help fund a more powerful server for the site for the remainder of the series (or simply want to buy me a pint as a thanks for all the spoilers) you can donate using the paypal button below (which paypal will take a cut from) or by using this link which paypal don’t take any commission from. Please only consider this if you can afford to do so and there is absolutely zero obligation on anyone to do so
