Ofcom is set to investigate whether Britain’s Got Talent viewers were ‘misled’ after a stunt dog was used in the final.
Jules O’Dwyer and her dog Matisse narrowly won the show but 1,150 people complained after it emerged that a second pooch, Chase, performed a tightrope walk.
An Ofcom spokesman told the BBC: ‘We’ve opened an investigation to determine whether viewers of ITV’s Britain’s Got Talent final, who may have paid money to vote, were misled about the competition.’
