Cowell feels like public enemy number one

'X Factor' judge Simon Cowell has said that he feels like a "public enemy" following his decision to take the show's elimination vote to deadlock last Sunday.

According to The Sun, Cowell said: "I'm going to get a lot of flak for my decision. I'll be public enemy number one."

"People always like to disagree with me but I know this will be more controversial than usual."

"There will be people who are Lucie fans and think she should have been given a chance."

Cowell also denied claims that he knew who had polled the lowest number of votes before he made his decision.

He said: "I had no idea how the public vote had gone - I never get told what the figures are. I always make my decision based on what I've seen."

"I didn't think either could win so it seemed fair to let the public have their say."
