Vicky Pattison 'robbed' of Sports Relief All Star Games win as BBC viewers complain

Annoyed BBC viewers are claiming that Vicky Pattison was 'robbed' of a first place finish when she took part in Sport Relief's All Star Games on Monday night.

After the final events of this year's Commonwealth Games had finished and all eyes were ready to be set on the Closing Ceremony from Birmingham's Alexander Stadium , Jermaine Jenas and Emma Willis presented the All Star Games, which saw Kelly Holmes and Ellie Simmonds captain teams of famous faces who did battle across a whole host of events.

Among them was a closely fought relay, before cameras switched to the Utilita Arena, which just a few days earlier had been the scene of some amazing performances from Team England gymnasts in the men's and women's disciplines.

Gareth got things going with a performance involving a ball, before former Geordie Shore star and I'm A Celebrity winner Vicky delivered her routine, armed with a ribbon.

Craig was very complimentary of Vicky's skills, praising her on some very well executed floor work and cartwheels, before being left in shock by her managing to do the splits.

Everyone assumed that after a performance like that, Vicky would take victory for the Blue team but instead, after he too used a ribbon, Russell ended up being given the win for the Reds, scoring a 9 to Vicky's 8.

When camera cut back to the studio and Jermaine and Emma were joined by team captains Ellie and Kelly, even Emma quipped: "Was Vicky robbed do you think?"

Ellie replied: "I think she was! I know I'm team captain of the Blues, but still. The turns, the splits even!"

Viewers shared Ellie's opinion, with one takling to TWitter to post: "Russell getting a 9 with bad ribbon work though, vicky was so robbed. i was team blue & robbed i tell you," and, another, replying to Gareth Thomas, writing: "you were wonderful, but I reckon Vicky Paterson was robbed!
