Simon Cowell would rather be shot than participate in reality TV shows

Simon Cowell has revealed that he would prefer being shot over taking part as a contestant in shows like Strictly Come Dancing, Celebrity Big Brother or I'm A Celebrity.

The 54-year-old talent scout, who finds all of the three reality TV shows "worse," said that getting shot would be "quicker" and "painless," the Daily Star reported.

Cowell continued that he would probably literally break his leg on purpose to avoid performing the traditional first dance, if he ever married his girlfriend Lauren Silverman.
