Simon Cowell was branded 'rude' by Britain's Got Talent viewers after he snapped at co-host Dec Donnelly during Saturday's live semi-final. The incident occurred as Dec attempted to wrap up the judges' feedback for magician Fraser Penman, prompting Cowell to retort: 'I'm still talking!'
Fans took to social media to criticise the music mogul, with one writing: 'I'm still talking? F**k off Simon.' Another said: 'Wow @SimonCowell is a little rude I'm still talking!' The exchange came just a day after Ant and Dec faced a chaotic I'm a Celebrity... South Africa final, where tensions flared between contestants Jimmy Bullard, David Haye, and Adam Thomas.
During that final, the hosts had to intervene as David Haye accused Adam Thomas of bullying, and Jimmy Bullard challenged the show's editing. Ant and Dec noted that some footage was not fit for broadcast, leading to Sinitta and Gemma Collins walking off set. An ITV spokesperson denied claims that Adam 'completely lost it and went for Jimmy'.
Britain's Got Talent continues Saturdays at 7PM on ITV1 and ITVX.
