ITV is suspending all premium-rate phone-ins, interactive competitions and votes while independent auditors conduct a review of all its programmes. Which competitions do you phone in for?

I don't phone in for any comps. I cant bring myself to spend money on some rubbish TV programme just to get some two-bit celebrity voted off a show.

Any body that lines the coffers of TV production companies and BT by calling premium line numbers deserves all they get...........which will be a huge phone bill

I've been shortlisted twice for Deal or No Deal, but they don't tell you how big that shortlist is, so I'm probably one of several hundred thousand.

I also got down to the last few of Who wants to be a Millionaire but the the final question was something to do with how many yards did OJ Simpson run in his career and the nearest ten got on the show

Well I've said it before and I'll say it again - the X-Factor were one of the first to succum to this scam.

The one minute warning just couldn't have given anyone time to have their vote registered before Kate Thornton was handed the envelope with the final vote count. So are they going to refund everyone that voted after the actual cut-off (which must have been several minutes before the televised one-minute countdown???).

Likewise I don't call these so called vote lines.

From reports, it seems that it will return to normal service on Saturday.
