Britain's Got Talent Accused Of Rigging Votes

The producers of Britian’s Got Talent have been accused of rigging the telephone vote by angry fans who are suspicious of those who have got through to the final.

Having been broadcast for the entire week in the lead-up to tomorrow night’s final, viewers have raised doubt over the voting system due to the fact that the four semi-finalists who performed last over the past four days have been voted through.

Michael Jackson dance act Signature, 13-year-old Andrew Johnston, 14-year old Singin’ In The Rain star George Sampson and 12-year old Faryl Smith were all the last acts to perform on their respected nights and got through to the final.
 
As a result, audiences have been quick to raise questions about the running order, suspecting the producers put their favourites on last so they would be freshest in the public's mind.

However, bosses at the ITV show have been quick to defend the show.  A spokeswoman told the Daily Mail: "The judges have no say over the running order of the show. The voting is all fair and balanced.

"It is also worth pointing out that acts which have appeared early on in the show have been coming in second and third in the public voting."
