X Factor judge Simon Cowell has spoken out against Strictly Come Dancing, the BBC ballroom show which is currently beating his talent show in the ratings.
Cowell told the Sunday Mirror, "I watched it last night on videotape. I sat there literally open-mouthed. It's one of the strangest shows I've ever seen in my life. You've got so many terrible dancers in there - it's sort of car-crash TV.
"Audience-wise, it's horses for courses. If I was 75 years old and I was sitting at home with my slippers on, I'd watch Come Dancing. If I was below 70, then I'd watch X Factor."
The outspoken judge also has some words of advice for his X Factor rival, Sharon Osbourne, who had £2m worth of jewellery stolen from her home last week.
He said, "I think I would move house if I were them, after the quad-bike incident and the robbery. I think it's time to move. They're like the sort of anti-royalty now, aren't they? They're the most bizarre family I've ever met in my life."
Oh dear Simon don't spit out your dummy!
