Britain's Got Talent winner Jai McDowall has finally spoken out about his long-standing feud with Simon Cowell, which lasted a whopping eight years.
"It was misinterpreted," Jai tells the Mirror, opening up about his fallout with Simon. Just months after bagging the top prize of £100,000 on the show, he secured a record deal with Syco - Simon's label - and Sony Music, releasing his album Believe in December that year. During the live shows, Simon had criticised his vocals for being "monotone", although he later praised his rendition of Groban's To Where You Are during the final. Simon also stated that Jai wasn't a "genuine star" and expressed his disappointment that he had won.
"It was a shame because I was doing an article for a paper on BGT and the guy was giving me a million reasons why and that Simon could be anti-Scottish. I laughed and said, 'Yeah, sounds like it.' And then it was like, 'Jai says Simon is anti-Scottish' and I was like, 'No, that's not what I said!'
