Simon Cowell 'threatens to walk out'


Colleagues: Cowell and Walliams with Alesha Dixon and Amanda Holden on the Britian's Got Talent panelAmanda Holden revealed yesterday that David Walliams has had everyone on Britain's Got Talent cringing with his close to the mark sense of humour.

But earlier this week the comedian took things too far while recording an interview on The Jonathan Ross show.
Walliams left the music mogul fuming after making regular jokes about his sexuality, with Cowell apparently even threatening to walk out after the Little Britain star pushed him too far.

Controversial: Host Ross also joined in on the banter during the interviewNot a happy bunny: Simon Cowell appeared to be struggling as he posed up with David Walliams on the Jonathan Ross show, where the comedian left the mogul fuming with his jokes about his sexuality
The controversy began when Walliams, promoting Britain's Got Talent, told Jonathan: 'The main question I get is, "Is Simon gay?" Even my mum asks. She says, "He's nice. Is he gay?" '
And while Cowell attempted to bring the conversation back around to work, saying that he often worked from midday to 5am, Walliams joked: 'At 12 o'clock at night you're working quite hard - because that's when the ladyboys come round.'
Cowell, apparently finding the jokes a bit close to the mark, said: 'It's worth pointing out that I have a relationship with ITV and most of this will be edited out.'

The BGT boss was then overheard telling Ross as the show broke for an advert segment: 'I want to have a word with you.'

However, despite things beginning professionally enough after the advert break, Walliams was quick to return to his naughty jokes, showing Ross a picture of himself and Simon on his phone.

He told the presenter: 'This proves that Simon does like me. Look at how erect his nipples are!'

And things came to a head when Ross made a lewd remark about the comedian getting his hands on Cowell's 'buzzer', with the record label boss getting up in a sign that he wanted the interview to finish.

However, sources close to Cowell insisted that he had found the jokes and banter 'very funny'.

Yesterday, Cowell and Walliams' fellow BGT judge Holden said that the comedian has often left them open-mouthed with his sense of humour.
She told This Morning: 'David is so naughty - he has taken the mickey so badly out of Simon that I don't know if any of it will get into the edit! But
'Simon has found it hilarious. He's got a brilliant sense of humour Simon, but he has been very near the knuckle has David!'

Holden added: 'David literally said to me, "What's Simon like?" and I said he's got a great sense of humour but there are some things that you probably shouldn't touch on... and then he touched on all those things!'
