dailymail.co.uk : It has proved to be a popular method of voting especially for the younger members of the X Factor viewing audience.
But with the final show of this current series just hours away, fans have reacted angrily after TV bosses banned them from voting for the winner by text message.
Little Mix supporters are particularly angry as they claim it will ruin the girl group’s chances of landing the coveted talent show crown as Marcus and his mentor Gary Barlow have an older fan base who are more likely to call in their vote or press the red button on their TV.
