Return of the boss: Cowell is back on the judging panel for the 2014 X Factor
Simon Cowell revealed his big fear was “no longer being relevant” as he prepared to return as an X Factor judge on ITV next weekend.
And he blasted judges on talent shows who do not have their own hits or manage big stars as “idiots”.
Cowell, 54, said: “Whether I’m liked is immaterial. The only thing that bothers me is whether or not I am ­relevant any longer.”
Then ignoring the recent track record of fellow judges Louis Walsh and Mel B, he said: “If you’re on these shows and not having hit records or hit artists in your real life, you look a bit of an idiot.

“You’re just a judge for hire. I couldn’t do that.”
But Cowell is less brutal if partner Lauren Silverman asked him if she looked good in an outfit. He told US station AXS: “I just say yes.”
