Simon Cowell let the public decide on the outcome of the show for a second week

Simon Cowell to explain X Factor decision on TV

Judge may address complaints on show

Wednesday, 11 November 2009

Simon Cowell could make a statement about Sunday's controversial X Factor result on live TV, according to his publicist Max Clifford.

Some viewers were shocked the judge, 50, let the decision go to deadlock following Lucie Jones' sing-off with John and Edward Grimes.  

Simon previously stated he would leave the country if the twins, 18, won the competition.
 
‘He's got to clarify his thoughts and feelings on the show on Saturday,' Max tells the Daily Record.

‘There are a lot of people out there angry and upset. He knows that. He needs to address it.

'A lot of people out there need to know why he did what he did and need to be satisfied by his explanation.'

We all know his reasons, he wants to manage john and edward. Taking it to the public vote was obvious... He knew the result already and took it to the public vote to make it appear he wasnt completely supporting J&E
