SHARON WAS HEADBUTT
TARGET
By Dan Wootton
THE X Factor wannabe who banged her head against a wall
after being rejected has revealed she wanted to headbutt Sharon
Osbourne.
Former fast food worker Zoe Simpson was seen by millions throwing the show's biggest ever tantrum.
Her tuneless rendition of Beautiful by Christina Aguilera was slammed at the Birmingham auditions.
But her reaction after Simon Cowell said she was "terrible" stunned
the judges when she ran out of the audition room and banged her
head against a wall.
Zoe-who was branded a spiled brat by Sharon-told the News of the World that the judges left her humiliated.
"I was so angry," said Zoe, 18. "Sharon was one of my heroes. She's a millionaire and a worldwide celebrity but she felt the need to bring me down.
"I had to run to get out of the room before I did something I would have regretted.
"Simon is old enough to me my dad so I don't want to be with him for good but I do think he should take me out for a date to say sorry.
"It's not fair for this show to make me out as a talentless wannabe.
"My school made me the lead singer in a production. They saw the truth and the judges didn't.
"It may not have been my best performance in the room but that's because I was nervous and upset with my treatment.
"I just stood up for myself. They were unfair on me and never took into account for my feelings.
"The judges came up to me after my hissy fit and Simon went to see my parents. But it was too late. The damage was done.
"They're no longer my heroes-but I will be successful and famous."
The opening show also saw toothless singer Emily, 70, who wore a red scarf around her face and black sunglasses.
When Simon asked why she responded: "Because I urgently need dentistry."
Simon responded: "This is all ridiculous, you're standing like something out of a horror movie-The Invisible Man or whatever it is."
But he judges put through OAP Joy from Manchester without singing a note. The 79-year-old played three invisible instruments.
A 14-year-old called Emily became the youngest ever contestant to get through auditions.
After her performance Simon said: "Emily there was a lot of discussion and controversy whether we should take people your age in this competition and I was absolutely determined that we were going to drop the age range and you're the reason why."
The other tearful moment came from mum of two Niki Evans who only came to the auditions after finding an application in the paperwork of her recently deceased dad.
He had never got round to giving it to her but Niki felt it was a message from the grave so went ahead and applied.
After her version of I Will Always Love You the judges sent her through to bootcamp and Louis exclaimed, "I'm absolutely astounded"
