Jamelia has hinted that Strictly Come Dancing is fixed to keep Peter Andre in the show.

The* Loose Women* panelist revealed that the show re-recorded the crowd's reaction to the Mysterious Girl singer's dance, to ensure that he had a standing ovation.

Jamelia ended up in the bottom two with Pete on Sunday night, but despite the fact she scored higher than him, three of the judges decided to send her off to pack her sequins. Fans weren't happy, especially as Pete's dancing had been slated.

Speaking on spin-off show *It Takes Two, *Jamelia said:

"I think we did a great last dance. But it wasn't until they re-recorded Pete's standing ovation, I'd say that was the moment we knew we were going home."

Craig Revel-Horwood, Darcey Bussell and Bruno Tonioli all chose to save Peter and dance partner Janette, however Len Goodman didn't agree with the other judges, saying: "I thought Jamelia and Tristan did a very, very fine Quickstep and I would have brought you back.”

A BBC spokesman told the Mirror: "Following Peter's performance in the dance off, for which he received a standing ovation from the audience, continuity shots were taken during a break in filming to reset the dance floor.

"These extra opportunities to capture audience reaction are standard practice in recording TV shows of this nature."
