Official statement

*** This statement contains a spoiler ***

During the course of pre-recording for 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 a considered decision and for producers to brief the presenters and dancers on the changed running order.

Watch the Christmas Special on Christmas Day at 7pm on 91Èȱ¬ One to find out which couple take home the trophy.
