Craig Revel Horwood tells BBC bosses to make Strictly Come Dancing voting figures public to avoid fix rows

STRICTLY Come Dancing judge Craig Revel Horwood has suggested BBC bosses should make voting figures public in order to avoid fix claims.

The dancing competition sees celebrities of all ages compete to win the glitterball trophy, with the public voting to save their favourite stars each week.

But the show has been marred by fix claims in recent series' after shock eliminations and surprising victors.

Speaking to the about it, Craig admitted: "I only wish they'd make the figures from the phone vote public, to stop talk it of it being fixed."

He added: "But if one celeb gets 13 million and another get two, it might not go down well."

Former Strictly professional Ola Jordan made shocking fix claims in November 2015 when quit the show.

In a searing interview in which she branded Craig Revel Horwood “childish and pathetic”, she claimed to The Sun that judges regularly over-mark couples to help keep them in the competition.

Back in November, the show found itself in the centre of a fix row after announcing there had been "technical difficulties" with phone votes during the show.

As the Strictly special from the Blackpool Tower Ballroom wrapped up, co-presenter Claudia Winkleman announced viewers wouldn't receive a confirmation message if they voted by phone.

She said: "Now due to a technical issue tonight you may experience some difficulties hearing the confirmation message when calling to vote from your mobile.

"However, don't worry your vote will still have been successfully counted and you will still have been charged."
However, viewers were also having problems voting online with many taking to Twitter to voice their concerns.

There were also a few conspiracy theories floating online with some fans suggesting this was the BBC's way of 'getting rid' of controversial contestant Ed Balls.
