Simon Cowell breaks silence on UK’s Got Talent contestant Loren Allred ‘fix’ allegations

Gold singer Loren Allred stunned Britain’s Got Talent judges by singing Never Enough from The Greatest Showman during the audition, after which she revealed that it was actually her own song.

While navigating the show’s semifinals on Thursday night, Judge Simon Cowell weighed in on allegations that the show was a “fix”.

Fans of the ITV show were not happy with the success of the singer, noting that she was already famous and signed a record deal before the show.

But because of the backlash, Simon stayed by Loren’s side while praising her performance in the semi-finals.

I also know you have a big problem with the media saying “oh, that’s a solution” because you went to another show, but that’s the whole point of shows like this, give people a second chance,” Simon explained.

Acknowledging that he wanted her to win the semi-finals and make it to the final, the judge said, “We haven’t had a female winner so far this week and I hope that changes that after tonight.”
