Frank Skinner has joked that talent show boss Simon Cowell is "rotting from the core".
The comedian made the quip while discussing Cowell's plan to send the next Britain's Got Talent winner into space.
Speaking on The Frank Skinner Show on Absolute Radio, he said: "I think Simon Cowell might have... I think it's finally happened.
"I think he's gone... I mean, don't get me wrong, he's in great shape physically. I think he's rotting from the core, like he's been microwaved by immorality."
Skinner added: "I don't know about you but I hate it when that happens."
The DJ also took issue with Cowell's decision to headhunt Alesha Dixon from Strictly Come Dancing for Britain's Got Talent to spite the BBC, making her the pawn "in a rich man's game".
"The Alesha thing was kind of fun," Cowell said after hiring her. "My decision to poach her was 70-30 on the fact she was on Strictly and the fact I liked her."
Last year, Skinner joked that Cowell's Red or Black was a "glimpse through the gates of hell" and added: "I think it's quite significant the colours red and black are the colours of the devil, and indeed Nazi Germany."
