Bad news for Simon Cowell as FIVE magicians snub him..
Simon Cowell is used to getting his own way, but he’s said to be massively disappointed after five magicians he was targeting for Britain’s Got Talent have signed up to a rival show!
The judge wanted the genius fivesome – comprised of Ben Hart, Dee Christopher, Damien O’Brien, Jasz Vegas and Chris Cox – to take part in his talent contest, but they are instead starring in new BBC show Killer Magic.
Hosted by Joe Swash, Killer Magic airs on BBC3 next Tuesday at 10pm. The group will perform five tricks for each other before deciding which stunt wins.
And it seems their decision to snub Cowell and the gang is the latest in a long line of refusals.
Ben said: “BGT rings every year and every year I say, ‘No way’. If they buzz you too early, you are devaluing your product.”
Altogether now: OUCH! (Written by Anna Porter for Best Daily Co. uk )
