Rachel Stevens Rachel Stevens The Strictly Come Dancing stars danced their hearts out this weekend...

But no one got sent home, after a voting balls-up.

The fiasco has sparked a host of complaints among viewers.

The blunder came after Rachel Stevens and her partner Vincent Simone drew first place on the scoreboard with Lisa Snowdon and her mentor Brendan Cole in the semi-final stage of the comp.

This meant that the other remaining couple -  Holby City actor Tom Chambers and Camilla Dallerup - could not avoid the dance-off, no matter how many votes they received from the public.

In light of the mix-up, bosses at the BBC show decided to freeze all public votes cast and carry them over to next week's final, where all three couples will compete for the dancing crown.

The celebs themselves greeted the decision with elation, but some viewers were not so happy, with more than 200 voicing their objections to the fact that no one got booted.

Appearing at a launch in central London yesterday, finalist Rachel refused to criticise the move, saying organisers had to make a choice "on the spot".

A spokesperson for the BBC said a review of the voting process was underway:

"The producers are going to look at ways in which they can avoid this situation happening again, definitely."
