SIMON COWELL has spoken out against public speculation that Britain's Got Talent is "fixed" as American singer Loren Allred made the final despite having taken part in The Voice back in 2012.
The 32-year-old Britain's Got Talent contestant swept judge Amanda Holden off her feet with her rendition of Never Enough from The Greatest Showman during her first audition. Amanda gave Loren the golden buzzer, meaning she would make the semi-finals right away. However, since her victorious first appearance on the show, fans have become sceptical after it emerged Loren had appeared on The Voice, with many labelling the show "a fix." Giving his feedback following her performance on Thursday's show, Simon Cowell defended Loren's appearance and insisted Britain's Got Talent gives people "a second chance."
