The Sun's 'leaked emails' draw MIG into Eckoh nightmare

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.
