X Factor - Simon Cowell gets stabbed in the back
Friday, 22 August 2008
X Factor fans will be disappointed with a former X Factor star who has described the new series as "cringeworthy."
Thankfully it wasn't superstar Leona Lewis or last years winner Leon Jackson. That would have been too much to take. The harsh words actually came from the lips of former G4 singer Jonathan Ansell.
Jonathan clearly doesn't think that much of Simon Cowell and told Virgin Media: "Simon's gone all out to Americanise it with the helicopters, the cars, and glamming it up. I think that worked incredibly well but I got incredibly frustrated with the sob stories as the show went on.
Poor Cheryl Cole didn't even get a mention in the interview, despite looking absolutely stunning in the first show.
Jonathan thinks that there are too many sob stories - what do you
think? Leave your comments on our Reality TV forum.
