X Factor fans were left stunned yesterday after host Simon Cowell made a crude joke about Xtra Factor host, Rylan Clark-Neal.
Rylan his co-host Matt Edmondson were getting the judges to pick a front door to choose which caller the judges would talk to for a Q&A session.
Rylan remarked “I love a front door”, and Simon retorted “I thought you liked back doors?”
Moments after making the remark Simon admitted he had over stepped the line.
Whilst fellow judges and the studio audience were shocked, Rylan handled the situation and joked back “Oh, Simon! Would you like me to show you how much?”
Rylan accepted the apology, saying he will “get over it” whilst Simon blushed “this is why we should never do live TV,” the producer said.
Rylan took to twitter this morning to further clean up the misunderstanding.
“Genuinely wasn’t offended by Simon last night but understand some people might be it was just a joke between friends and meant extremely lighthearted, but trust me I’m more offended by comments I get on social media every day calling me worse names by pr*cks sitting behind a keyboard. It was banter in this case and I personally wasn’t offended… Also I’ll get him to buy me a house in Ibiza whilst threatening to sue him… win win x”
X Factor judge Louis Walsh received vile homophobic abuse after opting to put through a gay act to the live shows.
Viewers took to social media to complain about their distaste of Louis and his decision, but used incredibly vile and homophobic language. Walsh was bombarded with homophobic slurs including “faggot” and “batty”.
The gay X Factor contestants were booted off show following weeks of homophobic abuse.
I think this has always been an issue with him.
