Strictly shocker. This copy just filed:

sirbrucie.JPG"In last night's recording of the Christmas Day edition of Strictly Come Dancing there was a problem with the voting system. Four couples tied at the top - and the audience was asked to recast their vote after Len Goodman re-ranked the relevant couples.

THERE WAS NO PHONE VOTE AND THE SHOW WAS HALTED FOR MORE THAN AN HOUR WHILE A CONTINGENCY PLAN WAS PUT IN PLACE.

This is the statement from the ´óÏó´«Ã½:

During the course of filming the Strictly Come Dancing Christmas Special there was a four way tie at the top of the leader board after the judges had voted. In these circumstances Len Goodman, as head judge, ranks the tying couples and that is what happened on this occasion. In order to allow for this contingency the show was stopped to give Len an opportunity to reach an considered decision and for producers to brief the presenters and dancers on the changed running order""
