Cowell drenched by Idol contestant
Simon Cowell has been drenched with water by a disgruntled contestant on American Idol.
The soaking happened in the new series of the show - and Simon had not even uttered a word! The unnamed contestant had just finished belting out a tune when Simon, apparently lost for words, stood up and put his head in his hands.
The contestant walked towards the desk, where Simon was sitting with fellow judges Randy Jackson and Paula Abdul, and appeared to be reaching to shake his hand.
However, Simon realised he was trying to grab a cup of water and desperately tried to grab it back.
After grappling for a few seconds, the young man pulled the cup away and threw the water all
over him.
The scene will be shown in the third series of American Idol which begins next week.
