BBC admits two more phone-in cons
Updated 17.30 Thu Jan 24 2008
The BBC has admitted two more phone-in cons, this time involving Russell Brand and Jo Whiley.
A recording of Mr Brand's 6Music radio show was billed as live but was in fact pre-recorded, and a BBC employee posed as a competition winner.
Listeners who tried to take part stood no chance of winning.
Radio 1 star Jo Whiley's show has been found guilty of faking a competition participant for a second time.
Production staff conjured up a name for a competition entrant.
The incident happened three weeks after another fake winner was put on air.
