Dame Shirley Bassey has lambasted reality TV pop stars, claiming they lack real talent.
The 'Diamonds Are Forever' singer, who performed at this year's Glastonbury Festival, has argued that shows like X Factor and American Idol are more about making money than hunting down really great musicians.
Bassey said: "Today people just want to get on reality TV shows and make money. Talent doesn't matter anymore. Anyone can get on these shows. Tall people, skinny people, fat people - and then someone makes millions out of them and their lives are ruined."
The star added: "I hate it, I really hate it."
