Cowell was seen this afternoon in the back seat of a car in Blackpool, where he was holding auditions for Britain's Got Talent before cancelling them at the last minute after hearing of Payne's death yesterday in Buenos Aires. It comes hours after Waissel, a 38-year-old singer-songwriter who auditioned alongside Payne on the 2010 series of X Factor, name-checked Cowell in two statements in which she accused music bosses of focusing on 'profits rather than people'. Cowell, 65, was a judge on X Factor and signed One Direction to his music label, Syco.

Host Fiona Bruce was joined by the likes of Environment secretary Steve Reed MP, Conservative Peer Lord Finkelstein, Daisy Cooper MP and journalist Andrew Marr on last night's show.

Once the biggest Saturday night show on British television, The X Factor has recently been mired in controversy as acts continue to speak out about their poor treatment.

Katie Waissel, a X Factor actress, has spoken out after her grandmother Sheila Vogel-Coupe's death at the age of 93.

Rebecca Ferguson has launched a tweet tirade against "irrelevant people and their no longer relevant show" just days after six former X Factor contestants accused Simon Cowell owned record label SyCo of bullying. As a result of being on the ITV show, five solo artists and a group are said to be approaching a law firm and pledging to sue the brand for suspected "bullying, mistreatment, and neglect." Ferguson, a former finalist on the show who had been successful auditioning in 2010 and on Twitter, said she is not one of them.

According to reports, a group of former X-Factor contestants is organizing a £1 million bullying case against Simon Cowell's (left and right) firm SyCo.

Simon Cowell is not aware or personally involved in the incidents or conduct alleged by the suspects, according to SyCo.

If The X Factor returns to screens, Joe McElderry has expressed concern that it might provide more of a "secure space" for contestants. Since bosses and Channel 5 announced a new series, it was expected that the singing sensation would make a comeback. Joe, who won the show in 2009, said that the X Factor and other similar shows have a long way to go before they are making positive environments for artists.
