Pussycat Doll Kimberly Wyatt has admitted that she has become the Simon Cowell of the Got To Dance panel and has even reduced some auditionees to tears.

Wyatt claims that she is more ‘direct’ than her fellow judges, Diversity’s Ashley Banjo and West End star Adam Garcia.

She told The Sun: “I’ve become the Simon of us. I’m not nasty but I’m honest. Everyone needs constructive criticism. I’m just doing my job.

“It’s meant to be the best of Britain, so I feel Britain’s reputation is at stake. I’m not just going to put anyone through.”
