Simon Cowell Defends Britain's Got Talent Acts

SiCo insists that he believes in giving hopefuls a second chance...

Simon Cowell has spoken out in defence of Britain's Got Talent after his show was criticised for including "established" acts.
The reality TV mogul was responding to press criticism of the show for allowing hopefuls who have previously appeared on TV to take part.

Taking to Twitter, SiCo said: "We have had some stick regarding so called established stars appearing on bgt this year. We try and have a no rules policy on the show. Everyone who auditions is either looking for a break or a second chance.
"Would it be right to say to someone who has appeared on a show before you can't audition? The reason we always let the public vote is they can decide who they want to win.
"I am not whining. Simply wanted to explain there is no hush hush plot. I just think everyone deserves a second chance."
And he also cited the show's biggest success in support of his argument.
"I believe Susan Boyle had appeared on another tv show years ago," he pointed out. "Nothing happened. Bgt gave her another go. Is that wrong?"
