Britain's Got Talent judge Simon Cowell forced to apologise after young girl in tears

Simon Cowell was once known as television's most vicious judge, with the music mogul striking fear into the heart of contestants on The X Factor, Britain's Got Talent, and Pop Idol. If there was anything not to his liking you would be hearing about it. His reputation for savage insults, damning criticisms, and blunt comments made so many waves that he was picked to judge American Idol shortly after.

Strictly Come Dancing judge Craig Revel Horwood has admitted that he will miss his co-star Bruno Tonioli after he leaves the BBC show, which he has been part of for 18 years.Craig, known for his hard-to-please nature and critical attitude, has judged the celebrity contestants alongside Bruno, known for his flamboyant character and happy-go-lucky personality, for almost 20 years since the show’s debut in 2004.Despite their polar opposite characteristics, Craig has revealed that he will “miss” his old pal as he departs from the show to focus on the American version, Dancing With The Stars.Craig opened up about Bruno’s exit to MailOnline and said: “I am going to miss him, but then I do get to spend quite a few months with him travelling around the country in a Mini so I get my yearly fill, which is quite good.”The dancing duo are set to return for a second series of their ITV show, Craig and Bruno’s Great British Road Trips, which saw the pair travel the length and breadth of the country from Cornwall to Yorkshire and Scotland to the Lake District.The programme went on for six episodes and has been renewed for a second season, so viewers will still continue to see Bruno and Craig’s antics after he leaves Strictly.However, there is an empty spot on the judging panel and Craig has an idea of who he wants to fill it.Speaking of fellow frosty-faced judge Simon Cowell, Craig explained: “I’d like him because I think he would be brilliant television. I’ve met him, but I’m not friends with him.

Britain's Got Talent champ Jai McDowall has revealed Simon Cowell gave him "more than he should have" for winning the hit ITV talent show.The Scottish singer won the 2011 series of BGT, which bagged him a whopping £100,000 cash prize and a performing slot at the prestigious Royal Variety performance.However, Jai suggested show boss Simon Cowell gave him more than he should have - including an album deal and a tour.Speaking exclusively to Daily Star, Jai confirmed he patched things up with Simon after their feud and that the music mogul gave him more opportunities than show champs usually get.Dishing on the lucrative opportunities he got from Simon, Jai said: "Look at what he’s done for myself. A lot of people don’t know this, but on BGT you get a prize and you get to sing at the Royal Variety, but I got a lot of stuff I shouldn’t have got."I got the album deal and I got a tour, and I got certain things out of it that I wasn’t supposed to, and I always say to people that I got a lot more than I should have.

BRITAIN's Got Talent winner Axel Blake has hit back at claims the show was fixed after fans said he was "already famous". Viewers fumed on Sunday night as the comedian and dad-of-two was crowned the 2022 winner, despite already having a show on Amazon Prime.

Axel Blake has been crowned the winner of Britain’s Got Talent 2022 after a hilarious performance in last night’s final. The comedian competed against nine other talented acts, including young ventriloquist Jamie Leahey, rap and pianist duo Flintz & T4ylor, and singer Tom Ball.

Britain's Got Talent viewers got all emotional as they spotted a moment between one of the young acts and the judges during the live final. The ITV talent show came to a spectacular end on Sunday night (June 5) following a week of live semi-final shows.

Britain’s Got Talent fans have been left furious that the show is a “fix” after they discovered winner Axel Blake already had his own Amazon Prime show.The comedian shot to fame in the 2022 series of the ITV talent show as Simon Cowell’s golden buzzer act - but his win left fans with a sour taste as they suggested the judges already knew who they wanted to win.And some were left even more furious that Axel had already landed his own comedy special on Amazon Prime just two years before shooting to fame on BGT.His TV special I’m Not Gonna Lie was released on the premium streaming service in 2020, and was filmed at the O2 arena in London, at its indigo events space.The show’s official bio on the O2 website dubs Axel a “renowned name in the world of stand-up comedy and social media”, introducing his “headline show” which framed the former UNILAD presenter as a “champion comic and robust headliner” who had “solidified his place” on the scene.He has also starred in ITV special Pranksterz alongside the likes of Judi Love.And fuming fans were quick to call the move of casting someone already famous as the winner as unfair, taking to Twitter in their droves.One viewer fumed: “Why not tell us you had an amazon prime TV show Axel Blake you're ‘not gonna lie’?”As another said: “Axel Blake, while very funny, has already done a sold out shown at the O2 and an Amazon prime special!? I though BGT was about finding new talent?”“Axel Blake, very polished, just check out his website, IMDb entry, Amazon Prime show or his live tour dates… not a new act by a long shot, another ringer like Loren Allred, show is an absolute joke,” a third posted.While someone else echoed: “‘Think we have found a star’ how embarrassing that Simon Cowell doesn't

Simon Cowell and his incredible recent weight loss has certainly got tongues wagging - but how exactly did he shed all that extra timber?The Britain’s Got Talent and X Factor star has made a number of simple changes to his diet since a health scare in 2017.He was hospitalised with low blood sugar, which spurred him on to consult a weight loss professional.The music mogul was told to cut out foods including red meat, dairy, sugar, bread and gluten – and since then has never looked back, losing four stone in four years.

She wrote: “Everyone has different views on the monarchy, it’s not for everyone by any means.“But as Peter Hunt so clearly loathes the Royal Family, I’m at a loss to know why he wants to earn a living talking about them?” Followers and fans of the Channel 4 presenter then rushed to the comment section to share their thoughts on the subject. @Theimagebarn said: “Not sure if his comments come across as loathing to be honest. “I read the “long goodbye “ as the process to the unfortunate time when we have to say goodbye to Her Majesty.” Kirstie responded to the fan, politely disagreeing. She wrote: “I follow him, and the lack of positive comment is very notable.” On the same thread, in favour of the Queen, @Foxy_T86 penned: “If only everyone could be so grateful for what that wonderful woman has given for us all.” @BlessingMuseki commented: “Most journalists hate war, but they still make a living reporting about it.” Kirstie responded: “War and The Queen, not wildly comparable, but I take your point.” @Mattanddarren wrote: “It would be lovely if us British could celebrate what we do well, it’s been a fabulous celebration.” @Sarahlustne opined: “He’s in completely the wrong job! “Like Omid Scobie who calls himself a royal correspondent but only wants to talk about the Californians in glowing terms and be rude about everyone else.” Kirstie Allsopp is best known for starring and presenting Channel 4 shows such as Location.

SIMON Cowell incurred the wrath of Britain's Got Talent viewers when he appeared to 'predict' the Queen's death. The mogul made a comment that suggested Her Majesty might not make it to the Royal Variety Performance where the winner will perform.
