Life wrecker Simon Cowell says: I don’t wreck lives

1238684853simon_182x249Simon Cowell has said that The X Factor and his other reality talent shows do not ruin contestants’ lives. Yeah and celebrities are well balanced people. Tell it to the psyche ward Cowell!

The pop mogul has been criticised by past X Factor hopefuls, including series one winner Steve Brookstein and series four semi-finalist Niki Evans.

However, he told Heart FM that the success of Leona Lewis shows that a sustainable career is possible for stars of the programmes.

Cowell said: “What Leona has done is that she made the most out of her opportunity. Other people, it doesn’t work out, they blame us for wrecking their lives.

“No, we didn’t. We just said: ‘Welcome on the talent show, we’ll put you in front of millions of people. Good luck to you.’”

The X Factor returns to ITV1 in August.
