Cowell signs up for third 'Simpsons'
31/12/2009 - 10:02
Simon Cowell has agreed to make another appearance in cartoon form in
The Simpsons - despite claiming to have hated the experience last time.
X Factor mogul will play a grumpy nursery admissions officer who upsets Homer after being mean to baby Maggie, in an episode due to air on Sky One in January.
However he has admitted that he found his last appearance on the show to be an "embarrassing and intimidating" experience.
They obviously hated me as I had to do it over and over again," he told The Sun.
"I could actually feel the rolling of eyeballs. It was like, 'After take 57 Simon could we have a little more reality'. It was painful."
And he said of his new role, "I criticised the daughter and she cries so Homer ends up hitting me.
"I criticised Maggie, rightly, and then Homer punches me in the face and I criticise the punch because it wasn't a very good punch."
