Simon Cowell denies animal cruelty on Britain's Got Talent
Simon Cowell has dismissed allegations that a dog featured on Britain's Got Talent was mistreated.
Hundreds of viewers complained to broadcasting standards organisation Ofcom after a pet dog appeared in an episode earlier this month reportedly wearing a fake nose and tongue to make it appear as if it was talking to its owner.
The incident also promoted an investigation by bosses of the RSPCA.
Well-known dog lover Cowell has now spoken out to deny allegations of cruelty, telling the Daily Mirror newspaper: "Everyone knows I love dogs and we wouldn't allow an act to come on the show if it was unhappy or being mistreated.
"I understand the charities being worried but we saw the dog after the show and she was happy.
"There's a lot of real animal cruelty in the world and I think that's what they should focus on."
