Lily Allen slams "scripted" 'X Factor'

Lily Allen has criticised The X Factor for being too scripted.

Writing on her Twitter page, the singer also claimed that Simon Cowell is the only person who benefits from the talent show.

She wrote: "X factor - FAIL. Too set up/scripted in my humble opinion (sic).

"its s**t. FACT ! Its everything that I detest about modern western culture. Cowell is the only one who really benefits.

"I don't know how simon cowell has managed to get away with essentially copywriting the talent contest. Its beyond me, really."

Replying to several fans who suggested that she was jealous she wasn't on the show, she said: "the fact I've never been on it, does not mean I've not been asked.

"I'd rather actually eat my own crap, than sit next to any of those goons. Except cheryl, obvs . X

"I've better things to do with my time than feed the nation with the notion that doing cover versions will sort your life out."
