Simon Cowell denies claims that BGT has been ?fixed? this year?

Hands up who read that pretty shocking anonymous blog post about Britain?s Got Talent this morning?

Well we hope most of you have because to be honest we can?t be arsed to go into too much detail about it (lazy, us?) but to cut a long story short basically the person who wrote it claims he/she works quite high up in Sony, and they allege that BGT this year has been fixed so that Ronan Parke wins the competition.

In fact they claim that the youngster was scouted long ago by Simon Cowell?s people and has spent the last few years being ?groomed? by them into becoming a tween British popstar sensation a la Justin Bieber style. They (allegedly allegedly allegedly ? was that enough allegedlys to please the lawyers? Okay here?s a couple more, allegedly allegedly ? that should do it) sculpted his image down to the very last detail before putting him on BGT as his launching pad into superstardom.

It?s also alleged that SyCo set up Ronan?s Facebook fanpage to coincide with his appearance on the show in order to give him maximum exposure.

There are plenty more accusations made in the blog ? which you can read here ? but rather than ignore the claims, Cowell?s spokespeople have released a statement today sternly denying the allegations. They said:

"There has been speculation on the internet that Britain's Got Talent finalist Ronan Parke was known to and worked with Syco/Sony Music before entering the show. There is no truth in this story whatsoever."

"Ronan first came to Syco/Sony's attention when he entered this year's competition. Syco/Sony Music will not hesitate to take whatever legal action is appropriate to prevent further publication of these unfounded allegations."

We?re not sure how much more we can say really without getting sued so moving swiftly on.

P.s. Allegedly, allegedly, allegedly.
