Simon Cowell has had a two hour showdown with his three other X Factor judges and told them to stop the bitching and fighting.

“Stop fighting,” he told the trio. “Stop flouncing…and stop getting on my nerves.”

“Simon went off the deep end with the lot of them,” an ITV source told the Mirror. “He’s sick of the bitching and decided to show them who wears the trousers on The X Factor.”

“Simon’s top dog and he gave them a full and frank reminder.”

Good on you Simon!
