Simon Cowell has hit back at Graham Norton's criticism of Britain's Got Talent.
Norton, presenter of rival talent show I'd Do Anything, mocked the use of "sob stories" on Cowell's show, singling out 13-year-old contestant Andrew Johnston, who was bullied at school for wanting to be an opera singer, as one example.
Talent judge Cowell has said that Norton should have kept his thoughts to himself and concentrated on his own programme.
"I read what Graham said and I thought it was incredibly arrogant," Cowell told The Sun. "I don't get into that 'which show is better?' rubbish. He should think before he speaks next time."
Cowell's fellow judge Piers Morgan described Norton as a "mincing, talentless fool" after the TV host's comments were printed last month.
