So whilst ICSTIS investigates those pay-to-play quizzes for adults, this is revealed;
The hosts of BBC children's programme Blue Peter have apologised to viewers after the results of a competition were faked last November.
A technical problem meant viewers calling for the Whose Shoes contest did not get through to the studio.
Instead, a visiting child was asked to pose as a caller live on air.
Host Konnie Huq said: "We'd like to say sorry to you because when this mistake happened we let you down." The BBC did not profit from the calls.
BBC Children's controller Richard Deverell called the incident a "serious error of judgement".
If Blue Peter are faking competitions, then that's it, the world has officially gone mad. This was the programme that I grew up watching. This was my staple diet of sensibility, of caring for others through shoebox appeals, and of learning how to turn household rubbish into a work of art.
My childhood memories are now lying in tatters :-(
