The results of The X Factor have been called into question by television bosses after its tightly controlled voting system was effectively hijacked.
Instead of paying for premium-rate calls, thousands of viewers are now voting ‘unofficially’ – and much more cheaply – for their favourite acts via a website.
Viewers who vote via the
free2call.tv website pay for their calls by listening to a 15-second online advert – but in doing so circumvent all the security surrounding the official phone lines.
