Simon Cowell shocked by discovery of bugging device
'American Idol' judge Simon Cowell is at the centre of a police
investigation after he discovered his TV set had been bugged.
Police were called to the Palace Theatre in Manchester, England,
after the music mogul spotted the high-tech listening device in the
corner of the room.
The star was using the hotel to audition members of the public for
his forthcoming UK-based reality TV contest 'Britain's Got Talent'.
It is now feared Cowell, and his fellow judges, journalist Piers
Morgan and actress Amanda Holden, were the target of an underground
betting ring trying to glean information about possible winners
through their private conversations.
"I am absolutely shocked that someone tried to bug me," he said. "It
is incredible the lengths some people will go to to try and get
inside information about myself and the other judges.
"Nobody knows what they intended to do with the information they got
from recording our conversations - but it is a concern that they were
able to breach security."
Police in the city have launched an inquiry and a man has been
arrested in connection with the investigation.
