Channel 4 is reportedly reviewing the SMS voting process in Big Brother, following the recent problems surrounding phone-ins and voting on other TV shows.
The broadcaster is believed to be discussing the issue with mobile network operators ahead of the show's eighth series, which begins later this month. There are also further rumours that it may axe premium-rate voting from the show, but no decision has yet been made on either.
The gesture could be a way for Channel 4 to win back viewer trust following the claims of mistakes with phone-in competitions featured on its Richard & Judy show.
In March, 11,500 text-message votes were not counted on ITV1's Dancing on Ice final because of a technical problem.
