Fans of the series will be unable to find out which celebrity was the most popular week-on-week as the BBC revealed they will be keeping voting figures a secret.
They admitted that they do not reveal results as they do not want to distract from the winner’s victory following the final show.
A BBC spokesperson added that they also want to avoid influencing the vote despite claims from viewers over recent weeks that the show is fixed.
“Releasing voting figures could affect the way that people vote, and also have an impact on the participants,” they told Mirror Online. “We therefore do not disclose the exact voting figures.”
