Viewers complain over 'Strictly' result

BBC

The BBC has received nearly 200 complaints following its decision to put all three Strictly Come Dancing contestants through to next week's final.

Lisa Snowdon and Rachel Stevens tied at the top of the leaderboard after their dances last night, rendering votes for third-placed Holby City actor Tom Chambers irrelevant.

However, the BBC opened the phonelines anyway, prompting some viewers to complain that they were misled into thinking their vote could affect the outcome.

Rather than eliminate Chambers, bosses chose to put all three acts into the final, which will now take last night's voting into consideration.
