<quote>The makers of Britain's Psychic Challenge on Five captured the wannabes on camera as they turned up in droves for try-outs. But five of the eight professional psychics who eventually starred in the show now claim they had ALL been selected weeks earlier in individual interviews.

Amanda Jayne Hart, 40, said she and the other finalists were stunned when they sat down to watch the first show and saw film of the auditions. She claimed: "It was a scam. They deceived the public. None of us had been part of any such thing.

"These people were used as pawns so the production company could get the footage to create the impression of an X Factorstyle contest."

Another of the finalists, Dennis Binks, said: "It was ludicrous. We'd never been a part of any such audition. I'm a genuine medium and absolutely hate fraud. We all thought we were there to prove psychic ability but felt cheated."</quote>

Question: Why did they go, did they not forsee the future
