Cowell unimpressed by piano-playing pig

Simon Cowell was left unimpressed when a woman auditioned for his new reality show Britain's Got Talent with a pig.

The series follows Cowell, journalist Piers Morgan and actress Amanda Holden as they search for a unique act to perform at this year's Royal Variety Show.

Hopeful Katie set out to wow the panel by showing how her pig Rupert can complete an obstacle course - which finished with her pet playing the piano.

"My kids would love it," Piers admitted after watching the routine. "Don't worry about what Simon thinks - he likes to be the most talented pig in the room!"

Holden was also extremely impressed, but Simon complained: "He doesn't play the piano - he just walks on it."

"He's not Stevie Wonder, Simon," Piers hit back. "What were you expecting, his own composition?"

Viewers can see whether Katie and Rupert made it through to the second round tonight at 9.30pm on ITV1.
