Caroline had never met Simon Cowell before.

She revealed: “I’d never worked with Simon and I found myself getting really nervous on my first day.

“The first question I asked him was if he thought all the talent in the UK had been exhausted and he just looked at me and said ‘that’s a stupid question.’”

She added: “Then he turned his back on me and just walked away… I thought, I’m going to be sacked.”
