Simon Cowell orders apology from Louis Walsh

Simon Cowell has made yet another statement saying that the judges are more important than the show, as he orders an apology from Louis Walsh from the extracts of his autobiography.

In Walsh's book, 'Fast Track to Fame', the confident Irishman makes sarcastic remarks that his greatest successes included Sinitta, Zig and Zag and Robson & Jerome. Quite true.

However, Simon has now accused Louis of being "cocky" and insisted that his rival judge should show more respect.

"Bearing in mind I've made Louis a multi-millionaire based on my decisions, he should send me a written apology for that," Cowell told The Mirror.

"Before he gets too cocky he should remember that or return the money I've made him! We have enough divas among the contestants, we don't need them on our side too."

Cowell has also confirmed reports that Michael Jackson will be appearing on the hit reality show.

"I got a call from his people saying he really likes the show and would love to be a part of it," he said. "There are also some other amazing guests. Kylie's doing the live final and Leona's coming on too."
