Strictly viewers miss last dance after BBC interrupts with Gaelic show - Telegraph.co.uk

The nine remaining couples were performing in front of 6,000 people. Kylie Minogue had also performed live in front of the crowd.

Dozens of viewers suggested on Twitter that the voting may have been affected by the interruption, but the BBC insisted it would not have any impact.

A spokesman said: "We apologise to viewers in Scotland for the disruption in service during most of Michael and Natalie's dance.

"The vote has been counted and independently verified and we can assure you that this technical problem has not affected the outcome."
