Call Me By Fire results leaked: Jordan Chan places first, boy band to include Jerry Yan, Vincent Zhao and others

It's been a wild ride for those following the Chinese reality competition show Call Me By Fire.

Just last week, one of the contestants, world-famous pianist Li Yundi, was detained by Chinese police for soliciting a prostitute, which is illegal in China.

But the show must go on. 

And for those who have been waiting with bated breath to see who will emerge top and who will be part of the 17-member boy band, you can finally take a breath.

According to media reports, the final results for the show have apparently been leaked on Weibo, ahead of the telecast of the finale tomorrow (Oct 29). It appears Hong Kong singer-actor Jordan Chan came in first.

Though the other 16 members of the band were listed — but not in order — there have been reports claiming that heartthrob Jerry Yan snagged the fifth position.

For the uninitiated, Call Me By Fire is a Chinese reality show on MangoTV that brings together 33 male celebrities — all past the peak of their careers — who vie to become members of a new 17-member boy band. Contestants include Paul Wong, Vincent Zhao, and Jordan.
