Read our privacy policy X Factor boss Simon Cowell said he knows he will "get it in the neck" in the new musical based on the hit singing show. Hill, who joked the show was his "brainchild, not lovechild", said Cowell had come to him with one demand. It includes digs at stars include Geri Halliwell and James Blunt and lyrics about hopefuls who want to be "like George Michael with better parking, like Robbie Williams but not as barking". "We had a guy recently on Got Talent who bounded to the front of the stage and said 'I've got cancer' like it's fantastic news and that's the world we live in now".
