Strictly Come Dancing judge Motsi Mabuse has responded after a comment she made triggered a 'fix' row.
Fans of the BBC One dance competition were baffled on Sunday night as they awaited the latest results.
Judi Love and her professional partner Graziano Di Prima were up against Olympic swimming champion Adam Peaty and his partner Katya Jones in the dance-off.
After they performed their Halloween special routines again, it was over to the judges to decide who would make it through to week seven of the competition.

But a comment from Motsi left viewers questioning the results.
As she delivered her verdict, she said: "I have to say that dance-off was really great, it was great to watch both couples dancing on the dancefloor.
"The decision was made for me and so I have to say that the couple that I will be saving is Adam and Katya."
After some viewers cried it was a 'fix', Motsi has responded to quash the claims.
"I'm sure @MOTSI_MABUSE will come to regret saying 'the decision was made for me…' when she realises that some people will probably take that literally," one fan tweeted.
"I haven't checked but I'm sure the comments have already started #Strictly2021."
To which Motsi replied: "100%! What was so obvious to me, because the mistakes were so clear!! In times of some crazy conspiracy theories…. lol."
And fans were quick to jump to her defence.
"At first I did wonder what you meant but of course you meant it was kinda obvious," one said in response.
Another replied: "Judi made a big mistake early into her dance off. As soon as that happened, sadly she was gone.
"I completely understand what Motsi was saying. Enough with the 'fixing' theories people."
"Sadly from the first step almost, your decision was made for you. I knew exactly what you meant," a third added.
Judi's exit came after she performed a spooky Cha Cha to Physical by Olivia Newton-John for Halloween Week.
Judi and Graziano's became the fifth couple to be eliminated from the competition after just returning from a week break.
The Loose Women panellist tested positive for coronavirus and was forced into isolation meaning she missed week five of the hit show.
