Simon Cowell: "It Would Be Unbearable If Cheryl Won"
Cowell moaned to Dannii Minogue and Chezza.
Simon explained: "Sometimes we have got into the habit and I’m partly responsible for this of the judges’ personalities being talked about more than the contestants."
He also added that there will be no 'sob stories' on this year's show claiming: "I like it when people are honest about why they have entered. If you’ve entered because you want to get rich and famous, then that’s great. Just don’t pretend you’re doing it in memory of your dead dog."
