Gary
Barlow has revealed that he is quivering in fear that he’ll be egged like Simon
Cowell at the X Factor judges’ desk.
The 42-year-old Take That star is
on red alert after Si was splatted on Britain’s Got Talent.
‘It’s a worry that, isn’t it? I
mean I know she was only throwing eggs, and that’s fine,’ Gaz told Metro of BGT
wannabe Natalie Holt’s attack on Cowell.
‘I’ve never had eggs thrown at me
[when performing with Take That],’ he went on, with co-judge Nicole Scherzinger
joking he is more likely to have knickers thrown at him.
With live audience auditions
taking place in the capital this week, the four judges – Gary, Nicole, Louis Walsh
and Sharon Osbourne – have all adjusted to their latest roles; with Gary
gushing over the return of Mrs O to the ITV singing show.
‘She’s the queen. She’s back. It’s so
good to have someone who has done so much TV work because she is totally at
ease and she has brought out the worst in all of us,’ he said.
‘The one thing I was dreading
though was Sharon coming back and just stealing the whole thing and that’s not
her style at all.’
However, Gaz is concerned about Si
making a shock return during the tenth series of the show – as he has no clue
if or when he might pop up.
‘We’re all worried about that,’ he
confirmed, although he is looking forward to Cowell’s Midas touch adding: ‘I
sat with him this year to talk about the show, the one thing I said was “I
think the viewers want you somewhere in this show” because at the end of the
day, I’m not the boss of the label in London.
‘We’d love at any point for him to be
involved and show up at boot camp or judges’ houses or wherever. He’s always up
for it.’
