Simon Cowell shuts down BGT ‘fix’ row as Loren Allred makes final

“Because you flew all the way over here because we spoke about this, you have respect for the UK audience.”

The 62-year-old added: “You told everyone your story, and then tonight, you know, I’m frustrated because that wasn’t long enough.

“You know, instead we had these weirdo robots which lasted forever, and I wanted to hear the song longer.”

As the audience booed, Simon continued: “I also know you got a bit of stick in the media saying you know, ‘it’s a fix’ because you know, you’ve been on another show.
