ITV fined millions for phone fraud
TV must pay £5.67m in fines for misleading viewers using its premium rate phonelines - the largest fine regulator Ofcom has ever imposed.
The broadcaster will also pay out £7.8m in viewer compensation and to charity.
The bulk of the fine was earned by Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway, which must pay £3m for misleading viewers in relation to three different competitions. The Geordie twosome's show Ant & Dec's Gameshow Marathon was fined a further £1.2m.
ITV has received 2,652 completed claims forms and has paid out £9,718. It is still processing a further 80 forms potentially worth £356. The unclaimed millions will go to more than 50 UK charities.
