Simon Cowell is the ultimate Christmas dinner guest

IF BRITAIN had to choose anyone to be the ultimate guest this Christmas it wouldn’t be our own mother – it would be “X Factor” chief Simon Cowell.

In fact, a new nationwide study reveals the man we all love to hate is streets ahead of everyone when it comes to being our top party guest.

Cowell – notorious for his no-nonsense, unapologetic and caustic comments on one of the nation’s favourite entertainment TV shows – polled 51% the entire number of votes cast in the survey by Chicago Town Takeaway X Factor pizza.

We’d prefer to have Simon Cowell at our Christmas dinner than our own mother. The nation’s mums only mustered a paltry 4% of the total nationwide vote.

He polled more than Christmas’s very own Santa Claus (10%) and legendary Beatles star John Lennon (8%) combined. Even notorious hell-raiser and party-legend Ozzy Osbourne could only manage to poll 5% of the 1,000 votes cast.

British comedian Stephen Fry and Hollywood heart-throb George Clooney would be equally as welcome at our Christmas party – they both polled 3% of the vote.

Chicago Town Takeaway X Factor Pizza spokesman Lisa Stoneley said: “It was quite a shock to find out Simon Cowell would be chosen over own mothers as the nation’s ultimate Christmas guest.
