Olympic gymnast Louis Smith accidentally told his Twitter followers who had been booted off Strictly Come Dancing before the results show had aired.

The 23-year-old, who won a bronze and a silver medal at the London Olympic Games in the summer, was saved by the public following his performance with partner Flavia Cacace but revealed that former Eastenders actor Sid Owen had been axed.

Smith tweeted: "Wat an amazing but emotional roller coaster. So much luv for @FlaviaCacace & it's so sad to say bye to @sidowen5 & @The_OlaJordan #crewlove."

Smith later removed the tweet.
