X Factor judge, Simon Cowell has spoken of his embarrassment at the recent leak of a show contract to a tabloid newspaper.

At todays press conference Cowell commented:

"It’s slightly embarrassing when any commercial contract goes out. I wasn’t aware I was one of the clauses. You can’t be horrible about me. That’s probably the most useless clause in the history of contracts, because everybody does talk horribly about me, and you know what? I don’t care."
