Ofcom won't investigate 'X Factor' result
Ofcom has reportedly announced that it will not launch an official investigation into complaints made about Sunday night's X Factor result.

Around 3,000 viewers are said to have contacted the media watchdog after judge Simon Cowell made the controversial decision to vote against Lucie Jones at the weekend.

According to BBC News, Ofcom has now indicated that while it considers complaints about flawed voting processes and treatment of contestants, it does not investigate the outcome of programmes.

However, a representative for the organisation added that it reviews "every complaint" it receives.

Sunday's show saw Cowell's vote forcing a deadlock following a sing-off between Welsh singer Jones and twins John & Edward. Dannii Minogue's 18-year-old hopeful was then eliminated after producers reverted to the earlier viewer poll.
