Simon Cowell orders X Factor judges to stop bickering

Simon Cowell has ordered the other judges in the X Factor competition to stop bickering about the current situation caused by the exits of some prospering stars.

Last week, it saw Sharon Osbourne vow never to return, but she's back with the rest of the judging team, but insiders have suggested all is far from well at the judges' camp, admitting there is quite a lot of tension on the ITV talent shows.

According to sources, sour mouthed Cowell held a meeting this week with Sharon Osbourne, Dannii Minogue and Louis Walsh for two hours to give them a good rollocking.

A source told The Mirror: "Simon went off the deep end with the lot of them. He's sick of the bitching and decided to show them who wears the trousers on the X Factor. Simon's top dog and he gave them a full and frank reminder."
