Gangs are helping foreign nationals cheat their UK citizenship application test with the use of earpieces, a BBC investigation has revealed.
For a fee of up to £2,000, criminals secretly listen in and, via a hidden earpiece, give the answers to those taking the Life in the UK test.
Such an operation was secretly filmed by a BBC journalist, who was given help to pass.
The test is failed by about one in five would-be British citizens.
The Home Office said it took any cheating "extremely seriously".
