We do love a scandal, but it seems that the Britain's Got Talent Jules O'Dwyer & Matisse farrago has come to a natural end now that Ofcom has slapped the show on the wrist for misleading viewers.
ITV's forlornly announced that anyone who wants refunds of the money spent on phone votes can get them. But how? Who on earth is claiming them? And what can you actually buy with the princely sum of 50p on these days?
1. Can I claim a 50p refund?
You can get your money back if you voted for Jules & Matisse (but only if you voted for Jules & Matisse, so no pulling a fast one if you're a fan of Old Men Grooving - we're watching you) . It only counts if you voted on a landline or mobile. No luck if you were sensibly thrifty and used the free votes on the app. Take that, sensible thrifty people!

Ant & Dec have announced who's through to Sunday's grand final from the fifth Britain's Got Talent semi tonight (May 29).
Here's how Twitter reacted to Britain's Got Talent's fifth semi-final
Another nine acts took to the stage this evening bidding for a place. Simon Cowell's Golden Buzzer act, singer Calum Scott, won the public vote.
The judges' choice was split between the next top two acts - impressionist Danny Posthill and sword-wielding Jesse-Jane McParland - which meant the public vote was the decider.

Britain's Got Talent stars Old Men Grooving have brushed off Simon Cowell's criticisms of their semi-final performance.
The five-piece dance act made it into the final after the judges were split on last night's show, as they beat Revelation Avenue in the public vote.
But speaking to Digital Spy today, they explained that they weren't worried about Cowell's suggestion that the second half of their performance wasn't as strong as the first.
"He didn't get it, that's why," said Fred. "I think it's clear that that was very simple because the message was we wanted dads to be able to get up and dance. Dads have got this thing that they can't really dance, so we made it very simple - drink the beer, put it down, drive the car!

Old Men Grooving will perform an Mc Hammer-inspired routine for the 'Britain's Got Talent' final. Stephen Mulhern - who presents the spin-off show 'Britain's Got More Talent' - has revealed the dance group will be looking to the 'Can't Touch This' hitmaker for inspiration ahead of the live final this weekend. Stephen said: ''David's the choreographer and he's sorted it all out, the final's going to be amazing. Mc Hammer stuff, don't miss it!''

Stephen Mulhern has dismissed reports that he and Amanda Holden had to be separated by Simon Cowell earlier this week.
On Monday's (May 25) edition of Britain's Got More Talent, Holden soaked him with four glasses of water after he showed a picture of what she might look like in 20 years' time.
Holden stuck her fingers up at Mulhern and also smacked his behind in the process.
The tabloids have since reported that the pair argued once they were off-air, with Holden taking offence to his behaviour.
Talking about the show on This Morning, Mulhern said: "Before we start by the way, the whole idea of this is to give This Morning all the gossip, and you may have seen on a front page of a paper this morning a headline about Amanda Holden and myself... being 'split up in an argument by Simon Cowell'.

We've had our second semi-final on Britain's Got Talent now, and some people who know just what it's like to hit the live shows are last year's winners Collabro. So each day, we'll be bringing you their verdict on the previous night's show, and today it's the turn of Matt Pagan.
"It was a great semi-final actually, really great," Matt told us this morning. "Me and the boys always sit and watch it in our separate homes and we all comment on it on our WhatsApp group and we thought it was a fantastic semi-final."
And in fact, the boys are still such big Britain's Got Talent fans that they thought they'd swing by to perform on Friday's show - why not, eh? Matt revealed this morning that he's "so excited" about going back to the studios.
So without further ado, let's see what Matt thought of each of the acts last night.

Jules O'Dwyer & Matisse and Old Men Grooving are through to the 'Britain's Got Talent' live final. The 49-year-old dog trainer and her seven-year-old Border Collie automatically secured their spot in the final stage of the ITV talent show after receiving the majority of the public vote during the second round of the semi-finals tonight (26.05.15). Despite wowing the judges with their energetic routines, Old Men Grooving had to fight off stiff competition from Revelation Avenue.

The Britain's Got Talent judges made their final decision about which acts will perform in the live semi-finals in tonight's show.
After bringing the auditions to a close, Simon Cowell, Alesha Dixon, Amanda Holden and David Walliams had the tough task of cutting down 200 acts to just 40.
The chosen ones will join the five golden buzzer acts - Calum Scott, Boyband, Revelation Avenue, Entity Allstars and Lorraine Bowen - in the live shows next week.
As usual, the judges had several disagreements during the decision process, with David Walliams ripping up one act's photo to make a point.
Even when the choices had been made some of the judges may have had regrets, with Simon Cowell wondering why they had decided to put through Michael Late, Jeffrey Drayton, Narinder Dhani, Mitch and Cally and Peter Lambert.
