C4 Suffer Text Voting Glitch

Following hot on the heels of the various voting scams, Channel 4 appear to have scored an own goal with a glitch in their text voting service this week.

On Tuesday afternoon Big Brother fans were registering votes via their mobile phones, but received multiple confirmations by return when they had voted just once.

They've also been receiving confirmations of votes for contestants that they did not wish to vote for. One puzzled fan said, "I sent 4 votes for ADELE but received replies thanking me for voting for JONNY. I hope that my votes won't go towards Jonny's percentage."

Other fans sent several text votes for Jade, but received confirmations for Jonny, Kate and Adele; everyone but the housemate they want out!

About the mix-up, Channel 4 have reported that due to massive demand when the four nominees were announced on Tuesday, an error caused some users to receive multiple confirmations of their vote.

Regarding the issue of whether votes have actually gone to the wrong contestants or not, Channel 4 has assured us that every vote has been registered correctly.

However, fans remain sceptical and are livid that such an error could occur. "This doesn't help the rumours that the voting is fixed," said one angry fan.
