The BBC has defended itself against criticism that the Sunday night Strictly Come Dancing results show was pre-recorded, by claiming that it never billed it as being a live show.

25 BBC viewers complained about the show after seeing competitor, Kenny Logan on ITV’s rugby coverage at the same time. Many have called it misleading and believe that the BBC set out to trick people.

However a spokeswoman has stated that the corporation never claimed the show was being aired live, and that many major BBC shows, such as Friday Night With Jonathan Ross, are prerecorded.
