Cowell considers legal action over 'Duets'
Simon Cowell is considering legal action against the BBC over their plans to launch an identical show to his forthcoming ITV1 series, Star Duets.

The X Factor judge has written a letter to producers of Just The Two Of Us in an attempt to settle the matter.

Both shows will pair up well-known singers with celebrities not known for their vocal abilities, with one couple being voted off every week.

"We have written to the BBC that we have e-mail proof of when we started work. We can prove we couldn't have copied theirs," Simon is quoted by The Mirror as saying.
