X Factor to donate profits from lifeline vote to charity

X FACTOR bosses are to donate profits from the phone vote to replace shamed Frankie Cocozza to charity.

Viewers can throw a lifeline to one of the four acts who were ditched from the show by their own mentors, with 2 Shoes, Amelia Lily, James Michael and Jonjo Kerr in the running.

Now ITV and show producers talkbackThames and Syco have said the profits — amounting to at least 22p per call — will go to Help For Heroes.
