Simon Cowell is feeling a bit put out this week as Peter Kay’s single ‘Winners Song’ trounced Leon Jacksons ‘Don’t Call This Love’ in the UK charts.

Simon has spoken out calling Kay’s single pathetic and added that Kay’s planned Christmas single it is no threat to the eventual X factor winner.

“I thought the show was clever, but the record was stupid. The single is a pathetic waste of time,” Simon told The Mirror.

“He is going to bring out a Christmas single? I mean, come on. I don’t feel threatened by him in the slightest,” Cowell continued. “I’ve got something in mind for our Christmas single and I know which one I would put my money on.”
