Alex spotted a big spread in today’s Sun newspaper claiming that David Guest was axed from ITV’s I’m a Celebrity show by mistake — because of a fumbling of text votes, allegedly, so the article reports, by mobile service provider, MIG.
More than 30,000 phone votes for Gest, 48  favourite to win the ITV1 show  are alleged to have been lost.
Premium phone rate service regulator Icstis last night began an investigation into the new row over phoneline voting for top shows  and asked to see our files.
The probe came as the firm handling the votes claimed the emails were fakes.
ITV admitted there had been a computer system failure on the night of the vote, November 30 last year  but said all votes were eventually counted.
ITV questions the validity of the ‘leaked emails’, calling them a ‘malicious fabrication’.
No response on either of the MIG or Eckoh websites as yet.
