Derren comes 'clean' over the Lottery Show...

Sorry if this is a repost:

"The idea was that there was a big twist, but then we couldn’t do it because there was a massive amount of scrutiny. The show was bigger than it should have been, so I took a decision not to do it,” he says. Instead, he just said at the show’s end, “The other explanation is that I fixed the lottery,” and took the accusations of fuzziness accordingly."

Indeed - his "twist" per say was going to be, from what I remember, some kids on a London bus havig chosen the numbers at the previous Christmas time. From the method I believe that he was using though, he would have come under a lot of stick if it was worked out...which it would have been with the amount of interest he gained!
