X Factor fans shocked after Simon Cowell makes sly dig at Fleur East for joining I’m a Celeb

X Factor fans were left shocked after Simon Cowell made a sly dig at Fleur East for joining I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!

The 31-year-old originally auditioned for the singing competition in 2005, but found fame in 2014 when she was placed as runner-up on The X Factor.

The star has now entered the jungle, but Simon is clearly not impressed by Fleur’s latest reality show appearance, as he made a sly dig at her when he was praising Scarlett Lee in the X Factor finale.

Speaking to the 20-year-old after her performance, the judge said: “I don’t want you in the jungle in two years time drinking worm juice, I want you on either Broadway or West End or selling records.”

“This could change your life babe,” he continued.

Fans were shocked at Simon’s comments, as many thought they were a direct dig at Fleur, who only entered the jungle last month.

“I thought @SimonCowell comment about @FleurEast on last nights @XFactorITV was rude!! She’s making a lotta money doing @imacelebrity so good on her! Maybe she didn’t have enough support after the X factor!” one fan tweeted.

“Interesting @SimonCowell throwing shade on over Fleur being on when he is the reason that 99% of the acts go unheard of after the show! Maybe he’s jealous that she’s on a show that’s getting more than double the views of axed factor,” another tweeted.

Fleur left Simon’s ‘Syco’ record label last year.
