Simon Cowell has suprisingly joined the ranks of critics of ITV’s new reality TV show, Grease Is The Word.

The Daily Mail reported that Simon, who is on the production team of the show, commented:

“Grease Is The Word is not going as well as I had hoped. It has been slaughtered by critics and rightly so. It is far too similar to our other formats.”

As the show still has five weeks to run I can’t imagine Simons comments will help the ratings any!
