Graham Norton, presenter of ‘I’d Do Anything’, mocked the use of “sob stories” on rival talent show ‘Britains Got Talent’. He singled out Andrew Johnston, a 13yr old contestant on the show who was bullied at school for wanting to be an opera singer.
Simon Cowell was less than happy about his criticism and has hit back by saying that Norton should have kept his thoughts to himself and concentrated on his own programme.
Cowell told the sun:-
“I read what Graham said and I thought it was incredibly arrogant. I don’t get into that ‘which show is better?’ rubbish. He should think before he speaks next time.”
Fellow judge on ‘Britains Got Talent’ Piers Morgan described Graham Norton as a:-
“mincing, talentless fool”
