Rachel Stevens defends "on the spot" Strictly Come Dancing vote decision

 

Google/PA - Singer Rachel Stevens refused to join criticism of Strictly Come Dancing bosses after a tie between two couples, including herself, caused chaos with the public votes. The 30-year-old star said a decision had to be made "on the spot" after judges in the hit show awarded the same number of points to model Lisa Snowdon along with herself, and their partners. This meant that Holby City actor Tom Chambers could not be saved from the dance-off, no matter how many public votes he received. To avoid this, Strictly bosses decided to allow all three couples to go through to the final. Asked to comment, Stevens said: "I think some decisions had to be made on the spot, I think that is what happened." She added that she was "thrilled" and "over the moon" to be in the final.

X Factor chiefs are said to be furious that Beyoncé has also agreed to appear on Strictly Come Dancing.

Beyonce, who is promoting her new album I Am... Sasha Fierce, has already agreed to appear on the singing contest in December.

However, The Mirror reports that SCD have managed to get the singer to appear on the dancing show at the end of November.

"As far as we are concerned we are the No1 show on Saturday. If X Factor wants Beyoncé, they'll have to wait. She has signed and we've also got Take That confirmed for the coming weeks," a BBC source said.

Meanwhile, an insider at The X Factor said they also have Mariah Carey and Britney Spears lined up. "We aren't happy Beyoncé is doing Strictly, but she is just one of a number of huge names we're getting," the source said.

Dancing Onto Dreamflight

Stars of the BBC show ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ Mark Foster and his partner Hayley Holt joined a host of celebrities at Heathrow yesterday on Sunday 19th October to send nearly 200 seriously ill and disabled children on a British Airways’ Dreamflight to Florida.

Celebrating its 22nd year, Dreamflight is a UK charity set up by British Airways cabin crew – that takes seriously ill and disabled children on a holiday of a lifetime to the theme parks of Central Florida.

The roll call of stars included Paralympic athletes Dzaier Neil and Matt Skelhon, as well as TV personalities Sir Cliff Richard, Chico, Patsy Palmer and Emma Barton along with marching bands and children’s entertainers.

British Airways’ chief executive Willie Walsh, who also attended, said, “Dreamflight is always a highlight in the BA calendar – we’re delighted to be able to support this great charity and make dreams come true for these deserving children.”

British Airways has been involved in Dreamflight from its launch and more than 4,000 children have benefited. The cabin crew who operate the flights volunteer their time.
Foster, who is better known as one of Britain’s all time great swimmers said, “It is a pleasure to come down and show our support to Dreamflight. An aircraft hangar is the most unusual place that Hayley and I have ever danced.”

During their ten-day trip the children will visit Disneyland, Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure and MGM studios. The trip will culminate with a final stop to Discovery Cove, for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to swim with dolphins.
