Richard & Judy: Shame for taking £32k from punters

Link: Mirror.co.uk – News – Top Stories – RICHARD AND JUDY: OUR SHAME

RICHARD Madeley and Judy Finnigan last night made a grovelling apology on their TV show to viewers conned by the You Say, We Pay phone quiz.

The couple, who encouraged punters to call a £1 premium rate number AFTER the players had been chosen, promised refunds over the fiasco.

Judy told viewers: “Richard and I knew absolutely nothing about this. We were very shocked and also angry on your behalf. We’re very sorry.” Richard added: “Yes, a huge sorry. We promise we will sort it out ASAP.”

He added: “A full investigation has been launched and we won’t be running You Say We Pay for the time being. Once we know the full extent of the problem, we’ll be making arrangements for any viewers affected to get their money back.”

Do you think they’ll be making a full refund to the 15,000 people who regularly call every day and don’t win anything? 😉

Noooooooooo………

Anyone playing with these kind of TV ‘games’ should understand the stark reality: You’re a punter, you’ll be treated as such 😉
