I have a feeling something went on with Shane and her backstage? Some sort of fling? Maybe I'm rewriting history here, but I'm sure I can remember something like that happening.

FACTS

She had a poo on Simon's head as a joke, but he didn't find it funny.

Also she slept with Ozzy Osbourne

I think basically after 3 years of the show, Simon wanted a shakeup with new judges & presenter. Remember Louis went briefly too.

Everyone was surprised because it was the first big shakeup, years later and obviously we're used to it now.

I thought Kate and Simon had an argument and he sacked her over of it?

She was much better than Dermot, they should've brought her back instead of Sharon.

She was /is a great presenter,and it's sad that I don't think her career has really recovered. She was sacked from loose women too where I think she was a real breath of fresh air

There was no argument, everyone including Kate thought she was coming back. But then they had a meeting to review series 3 and plan series 4 where Simon was keen to make big changes to push the show forward. He liked Ryan Seacrest in the US and hoped to turn Dermot into a British version of him. So Kate was fired, much to everyones surprise, including hers.

Never thought about the Ryan/Dermot comparison but it makes a lot of sense.

I don't remember hearing about it myself but have found a thread referring to the rumours. There's no working link to any article but it sounds like it was just Daily Star rubbish anyway.

Dermot's miles better anyway, she was far too serious and very dull

He has actually grown into the role over the years, he's like 'Mr X Factor' now (a bit like how Davina became Big Brother), if he left I'd be very disappointed

Still, it works better with Dermot. At least he has the nerve to dance on stage

I liked her on x factor but by god she annoyed me on loose women! She went on and on about how 'great' a mum she was like she was the only one in the whole entire world that raised a child. Also, she used to get so angry if any of the other women dared to have a different opinion to her

Em, she was wooden and not very good for a Saturday Night live show. She was much better in the Pop Idol ITV2 show, I forget the name of it.

Dermot is far more confident and dynamic, though not as funny as Ant and Dec

No she was a fairly good presenter, however I suspect that she didnt stand for any bullshit from anybody and good for her. Wasnt it her that said she wanted to bury the hatchet with Simon...in his head.....you dont f""" about with Kate T
