'X Factor' row charity calls for cash

A charity is asking 'X Factor' viewers to vote for it and not the singers this evening in an attempt to recoup legal fees it claims it was forced to pay in a trademark dispute with the Simon Cowell-owned show.

Brighton-based music charity Rhythmix alleges it incurred an £8,000 legal bill because it was forced to defend its trademark when a girl group – now called Little Mix – tried to register the name.
