Model-turned-actress Kelly Brook has hit out at music mogul Simon Cowell for always being late on set for Britain's Got Talent, saying it was "disrespectful". 

Brook, who got sacked as a panellist after just three days on the show back in 2009, claims she "wasn't bothered" when she got fired from the show.

Speaking to the Sunday Mirror, Brook took a swipe at Cowell's punctuality, saying: ''We would have to start at 9.00am . . . Simon didn't, though - he was hours late. He wouldn't get there until 1.00pm. It was disrespectful to me, Amanda Holden and Piers Morgan.

''Throughout my career, if I have a call time of 9.00am, I'll be there at 8.30am, ready to go. Simon didn't work like that, it was his party and he did it his way.''

Brook added that she wasn't impressed with how Cowell made it seem as though she was desperate for the judging role on BGT

''It wasn't what I wanted to do anyway. I wanted to act. So when it didn't work out I wasn't bothered, it meant I could go back to doing what I really wanted to do.''

Kelly is currently starring in US comedy One Big Happy.
