Britain's Got Talent 2009

X Factor judges Simon Cowell and Louis Walsh had a bitter row after Walsh voted off Cowell's act.

Bodyguards reportedly had to pull the feuding judges apart seconds after the cameras stopped rolling on the live ITV1 show.

Cowell later stormed off the set without telling anyone, snubbing ITV2 spin-off The Xtra Factor.

Walsh was furious at personal jibes by Cowell earlier in the show.

The judges composed themselves for the results show, which saw Simon's act Ashley McKenzie dumped from the show.

The spat worsened when Walsh gave Cowell's act Ashley the boot and then Cowell locked himself in his dressing room.

Cowell said: "I called him spiteful because he used something personal against me to affect someone's career and I don't think that's acceptable.

"Louis' behaviour was a joke. His decision was purely spiteful and tactical. Now the viewers won't get to see Ashley at his best."

Walsh, 54, called Simon's non-appearance on The Xtra Factor "unprofessional and childish".

The X Factor's most recent evictee Ashley believes the show has become as much about the judges as the contestants.

Ashley was at the centre of a bitter spat between Simon Cowell and Louis Walsh after Simon branded the record label boss "spiteful" for evicting Ashley - Simon's protege.

Ashley said: "I think their little rivalry is getting in the way of the show as there's as much competition between the judges as there is between the contestants."

He added that Louis' actions seemed to contradict his words when it came to judgement time.

He said: "What Louis said didn't make much sense to me as he said I was a star and then sent me home - but I thought whatever."

Sharon Osbourne was stuck in the middle of the bizarre spat, which saw Louis brand Simon "unprofessional" for refusing to appear on the spin-off show the Xtra Factor.

However the pair are said to have made up since, with Cowell describing the whole incident as "a storm in a teacup".

Some felt Ashley was a little too cocky for his own good but he remains unrepentant.

He said: "No one is 100 per cent nice and sweet as cherry pie - that's just life."

He now wants fellow Simon proteges Ray, Leona or Nikita to go on and win the show.

X Factor's Simon and Louis make up

Warring X Factor judges Simon Cowell and Louis Walsh seem to have patched up their latest row.

The pair happily posed for photos together at the Pride of Britain Awards on Monday night and Simon said: "We're friends again".

They fell out apparently exchanging gay insults in a blazing row during the X Factor's Abba-themed show.

Acerbic Simon sniped that Louis had a "massive unfair advantage" with the camp performances.

The Irish music mogul hit back: "Simon, this song is dedicated


to you... It's called Does Your Mother Know."
According to the Daily Mirror, Simon eventually stormed off the set and later branded Louis "petty and vindictive".

But it looked as if the pair's harsh words were forgiven and forgotten last night.

"We're all fine now, we're friends again," Simon is quoted by the Mirror as saying.

However, it seems he might have to work a bit harder to convince Louis it's water under bridge - because he didn't appear to have realised the pair had made up!

"He's (Simon) not talking to me, I don't care, maybe by Saturday he'll be talking to me," he said.

Cowell: 'I want to sign Moss'



Pop impresario Simon Cowell plans to harness some of Kate Moss' star quality - by signing her up for a recording deal.

The X Factor judge isn't concerned about the supermodel's singing skills - he just wants to be part of "Team Moss".

He says, "I would like to offer Kate Moss a recording contract, whether she can sing or not.

"The thing about Kate is that she's a star: it's the 'Kate factor.' People attach themselves to her and instantly become interesting

Cowell spots Kate factor



Pop impressario Simon Cowell has said he would sign Kate Moss on a huge recording contract - even if she can't sing a note.

The X Factor judge revealed his desire to launch a pop career for the supermodel after she sang with boyfriend Pete Doherty at a recent concert in Dublin.

He said: "I would like to offer Kate Moss a recording contract, whether she can sing or not.

"The thing about Kate is that she's a star - it's the 'Kate factor'. People attach themselves to her and instantly become interesting."

The pop guru has insisted he would not include her boyfriend Pete Doherty in any deal however.

He said: "There's no way I would take him on. I doubt he'd turn up for anything."

For all the bum notes that Britain's Got Talent strikes - the sincerity-challenged Piers Morgan, the moist-eyed Amanda Holden, those puerile thirtysomethings, Ant and Dec - its audition rounds remain television's surprise symphony. While Haydn surprised once with that fortissimo chord at the end of his pianissimo section, Britain's Got Talent surprises again and again, tripping up its audience who, taking one look at the obvious loser in the wings, settle down to sneer and are then surprised by talent, or else, conversely, wrongfooting them with expectations levered upwards and then dashed.

The producers work hard at this, raising and lowering expectations with incidental music and significance-bearing audience cutaways. But even without the artifice, these opening episodes of the talent show would work - as surely they do in the regional theatres where they are recorded - because until the music starts and the fat lady sings, no one has any idea not only about how good the act is but what it is.

The fat lady who sang and became a star overnight on Saturday's series-three premiere was Susan Boyle (pictured above), a West Lothian spinster who said that she had never been kissed (“Shame,” she said, without a trace of self-pity.) She was 47 going on 57, had hair like a crow's nest, and wanted to be Elaine Paige. The audience guffawed. But then to increasing incredulity and mounting applause, she sang I Dreamed a Dream from Les Misérables. She possessed a voice of breathtaking tunefulness and confidence.

Morgan called it the greatest surprise of his three years on the show. Holden called it the greatest wake-up call ever. Simon Cowell, who is a very witty man, said he knew from the moment she walked on the stage... There was some kind of Shrek moral going on here, a corrective to our appearance-besotted age. If Susan Boyle had not existed, the Noughties would have had to invent her to prevent the decade from crashing into its own looking glass.

Elsewhere, the symphony played and there was a surprise in every movement. An overweight Greek restaurateur and his tubby son threatened a version of their plate-spinning act. Instead they stripped to the waist, donned Boris Johnson wigs and did a riotous send-up of Riverdance. A woman came on with an XL glove puppet and proceeded to mime to a record (not really ventriloquism, was it?) A 60-year-old telephone engineer professed himself a Gene Kelly fan, got the stage, and waved his arms without once moving his feet. (“Not dancing,” noted Cowell.) James from Dunfermline had practised for two years to beat the world record for gobbling Ferrero Rocher chocolates in a minute. The record was seven. He managed four. (“I ate five,” said Ant, who had been munch-matching him in the wings. “That's good,” conceded James.)

And then came Fabia, a disco dancing champion in her teenage years who had gained weight impressively, and professed a wish to recapture the triumphs of her youth. The woman only went on to do a striptease, her modesty preserved for viewers by the superimposition over her chest of two unevenly balanced Union flags. I was reminded of the remarks that would precede episodes of the Sixties puppet classic Stingray (shown on Sci-Fi's Supermarionation weekend: five stars, obviously): “Anything can happen in the next half hour.” The only fault with Saturday's BGT is that it went on for 90 minutes.
