Simon Cowell has launched a stinging attack on Big Brother, labelling the stars of the hit Channel 4 series "bad actors."

Speaking at the launch of the second series of Pop Idol, Cowell argued that the latest series of Big Brother - which was won on Friday by Scot Cameron Stout - was full of people seeking instant fame.

He said: "Big Brother is not reality any more. You don't get 10 normal people to do it. You get 10 crap actors in the house."
