Jason Gardiner, the evil little Dancing On Ice judge, that for some strange reason always wears scarves or polo necks to cover what must be a hideous neck, has hit out today at Simon Cowell.

Many of us have commented in the past that Jason is trying to be Cowell, except he just doesn’t have the personality to pull it off. However Mr Gardiner would argue that he is more qualified to offer his criticisms than music moghul Simon Cowell.

Speaking to Star magazine Gardiner stated:

“Simon can’t actually sing. I, however, have an extensive and very credible dance career, so I can still do what I am criticising.”

When he heard that Cowell had branded the Ice judge as worse than him, Jason told Star Magazine: “Simon Cowell said I’m nastier than him – that’s not true, because he destroys people’s dreams.”
