This year's series of The X Factor has just got underway, but former judge Sharon Osbourne is NOT impressed. The new series sees a new judging line-up of Robbie Williams, his wife Ayda Williams, former One Direction member Louis Tomlinson and returning judge Simon Cowell.
Sharon certainly didn't hold back when she was asked about the new series and head judge Simon, speaking to an American radio show. The former judge, who is due to return to The X Factor panel for the live shows, called Simon a, "F---ing pain in the a---" saying he "will do whatever" to get his "f---ing fat face on TV".
During the interview, Sharon was asked who she would save on a sinking boat and she responded saying she'd 'put a brick around his neck and throw him over'! Sharon also revealed that she has a clause written into her contract, which states she must be paid as much as the highest-paid judges.
"So Simon and I have a clause in my contract, 'favourite nations'," Sharon explained, "Simon goes to the press and goes, 'This is the best £10 million I have ever spent'.
"So I go, 'I have favourite nations, where is my f--king £10 million? I have a clause'. I am a businesswoman."
It wasn't just Simon who found himself a target of the interview, it was also this year's X Factor hopefuls. The former X Factor judge said, "I don't have to have those kids singing in my face. Those little sh--s. They all suck. It is like, 'Hey is this f---ing karaoke or what?'"
Now take a look at 9 acts you NEED to know about on The X Factor:
The X Factor 2018: 9 acts you NEED to know about (slider)
1 of 9Miss Understood
Duo Miss Understood are Jeff and Stefan from London. They perform original song Juicy Fruit and, honestly, you'll be humming it for days. You'll probably end up spontaneously flossing, too. DON'T RESIST IT.
2 of 9Andy Hofton
Andy's a Customer Sales Advisor from Macclesfield and, yep, he's a Robbie Williams superfan. After Simon puts a stop to his original track Castle of Love, Andy joins Robbie on stage for a special duet. We'll give you one guess which song they performed.
3 of 9Ross Alexander
Put it this way, Ross is no wallflower. That's all we're saying for now.
4 of 9Molly Scott
Molly's 16 from County Durham. Hailed a 'young Christina Aguilera,' she performs James Brown's Man's World.
5 of 9Janice Robinson
50-year-old Janice is from Garfield, New Jersey and you might recognise her from that 1994 Livin' Joy bop Dreamer.
6 of 9Danny Tetley
Benidorm bar singer Danny first auditioned for Simon Cowell seventeen years ago on Pop Idol. After being rejected almost two decades ago, will his cover of And I'm Telling You win over the judges?
7 of 9Livia & the Elementals
Move over, The Pussycat Dolls; Livia & the Elementals are here for your crown. Ahem.
8 of 9Kezia Povey
Kezia might only be 15, but her cover of Callum Scott's You Are the Reason has us bawling our eyes out (for all the right reasons.)
9 of 9Charlotte Lee
17-year-old student Charlotte bonds with Louis Tomlinson over their hometown of Doncaster, but is her cover of P!nk's What About Us enough to win over Robbie, Ayda and Simon?
However, it wasn't all bad news, Sharon did have compliments to pay to new judge Robbie Williams, saying, "He's a good guy", yet she was less complimentary about his wife. When she was asked if she knew what Ayda knows, she said, "I don't know [what she knows]. She was in a soap opera here years ago."
