Amanda Holden drenches Simon Cowell on Britain's Got Talent and storms off stage after fight

A battle of the sexes erupts on Britain’s Got Talent as Amanda Holden drenches Simon Cowell in water and storms off stage with Alesha Dixon.

The arguing starts when London singing duo Two Ways perform and both Amanda, 42, and Alesha, 34, dance along.

Head judge Cowell, 53, and funnyman David Walliams, 41, obviously don’t agree, as they press their own buzzers and then press the girls’ ones too to stop the performance.

When they then go to vote on the act, former Mis-Teeq star Alesha chastises David saying: “I thought you were more fun than that David. I was going to say yes.”

Actress Amanda goes one step further and enacts rev enge, trying to persuade Simon to say yes by holding a glass of water over his head. When Simon sticks to his guns and says no, Amanda drenches him in water.

One show source said: “Simon was really not impressed, he didn’t think Amanda would actually do it. He hates not being in control.”

The ill-feeling amongst the judges then comes to a head when Amanda and Alesha are left furious when Cowell and David gang up and refuse to put through Pop’arazzi Crew during another audition.

The five strong dance group are loved by Amanda who describes it as “fascinating to watch” whilst Alesha says it was “really interesting”.

But Cowell responds saying: “I was kind of interested for about a minute, and then I lost it”.

He also pretends to snore when the girls are speaking and adds: “What’s the matter with two? You’re getting really bolshie.”

Both men then vote ‘no’ so the act do not get through.

Amanda then respon ds: “That is such a mistake. I think we’ve had enough of the boys. I’m so angry.”

Simon seemed to find being soaked amusing

She and Alesha leave the judging panel and go backstage with Amanda saying: “Thank Christ that is over.”

Alesha vents her anger and says: “David was saying yes just to side with Simon, grow some balls man.”

Cowell and David are then left on their own to judge singer Neil Hook.

Turning to David, Cowell says: “See, this is the problem when you get girls who actually sort of like each other, it doesn’t work. We’ll judge the show together. Bring them on. I hope that this is the moment we find the winner of the show.”

The fight ends backstage with both sides refusing to say sorry to each other. However, it is understood they have all now made up.

Britain’s Got Talent is on ITV1 tonight at 7pm.
