X Factor spoiler: Simon Cowell apologizes to contestant who he rejected 17 years ago on another show
X Factor 2018 will launch on September 1 at 8 p.m. where viewers will get to see the first round of auditions being aired followed by the second round on September 2. But before the show gets underway, a juicy spoiler from the sets of the talent show is making the rounds of the Internet. Hard taskmaster Simon Cowell recently had a very humbling moment during the auditions for X Factor. (And if you want to see it on the show then you can stop right here.)
(Spoiler alert) Judge Simon was treated to a blast from the past when one of the contestants auditioning for the show - Danny Tetley - mentioned how his dreams had been thwarted earlier on by the judge. The 58-year-old contestant revealed that he had performed in front of Simon when he had previously auditioned for Pop Idol in 2001. At that time Simon had rejected his performance, reports the Daily Mail. Danny said: "I did try for Simon many years ago on a TV show called Pop Idol, not a lot happened, it's why I'm back here. Simon was very nice but back then it was a very image-led business. This is my World Cup final, I've waited 17 years to show I've still got it, I've still got the same passion as before."
