George Sampson has reportedly been dropped by Simon Cowell. Sources claim its because he isn’t marketable but I imagine his public slating of Cowell last week didn’t help his case any.

A source told The Daily Mail: “George just didn’t prove as marketable as Simon had hoped.

“When acts like George win the show, it’s much harder for them to forge a successful and moneyspinning career compared with a singer, like Susan Boyle.”

Sampson recently blasted Cowell and claimed that he owed money to Syco despite a top selling DVD.

However, a Syco spokeswoman replied: “There is never a case where artists owe money and nor do marketing or promotion costs come from their percentage. In addition they also get an advance on projects.”

So Sampson’s lying then? What a shocker!
