X Factor bosses have launched an investigation into an alleged voting system loophole that has allowed Saara Aalto fans to vote for her in her native Finland, according to reports.

Aalto, 29, is the bookies favourite to win this year’s competition after making it through to the final despite spending weeks singing for survival in the bottom two.

Her surge in popularity is reportedly a result of Finnish voters finding a way to vote on the app despite being from outside the UK.

Aalto’s semi-final performance – which saw her perform Mariah Carey’s All I Want For Christmas Is You and Sia’s Chandelier – was screened live on TV in Finland for the first time.

An insider told The Sun: “The app doesn’t say if you are voting from the UK so it’s hard to tell what is happening here.

An X Factor spokesman said of the claims: “Our investigations have shown there is no evidence that the vote result is being affected by this activity, though we are continuing to monitor the situation.”

Leave our Saara alone!

I noticed that quite a lot of the votes for Saara in the previous favourite poll on here, are from Finland.

I find it quite amusing that people in Finland are scouring the internet for X Factor polls to vote in for Saara

[Lostie!]

They should allow it in return for all the tacky jokes they make about her being Finnish

[Marsh.]

International Queen!

[Crimson Dynamo]

ban ha

[Black Dagger]

Bring up how Finnish she is and they'll find a way to get behind her, only got themselves to blame.

[Shaun]

If they're going to ham up how un-British she is every week then they should really prepare for non-Britons to vote for her

edit: oh shut UP lucas!

[andybigbro]

This better not affect her chances of winning.

[Crimson Dynamo]

seriously if true they cannot have a final

[Black Dagger]

Get a grip.

[Black Dagger]

Besides, even Louis himself has said on screen that he hopes people in Finland would vote for her

Yeah it's Louis fault

[Adamw92]

It's their own fault for trying to shoehorn how she's from Finland into every comment made about her in the hopes she'll lose to Bland Terry and 5 After Miming. It won't have had much of an effect anyway, the amount of support she gets from British people is all over the internet for all to see, she doesn't need to "cheat" to get through.

[Tom4784]

Seems like an attempt by the media and the show itself to sabotage her more than anything.

After her disgusting comments about Finland I am amazed anyone likes there?

[Ross.]

Not Emily to snatch a place in the final

[Crimson Dynamo]

At least she loves Scotland and doesn't dump long term boyfriends based on a flattering email...
