Music mogul Simon Cowell has been nicknamed ‘The Child Catcher’ on the set Britain’s Got Talent due to his unfriendliness towards kids who audition.

X Factor’s Mr Nasty, who has no children of his own, was given the name as his fellow judges, including Amanda Holden, noticed his dislike of the younger auditionees for the new ITV talent show.

Amanda stated:

“He just doesn’t like children, he’s not interested. When they come on you can see he isn’t interested.”

“I would not bring my daughter to work. I had a photo of her on my phone and Simon just said, ‘You’ve got dogs too, haven’t you? Have you got a picture of a dog?’”
