The Mirror reports Sharon Osbourne yesterday accused ‘X Factor’ boss Simon Cowell of cowardice over the sacking of fellow judge Louis Walsh and host Kate Thornton. “After knowing Louis for over 20 years, Simon should have had the guts to tell him to his face that he was going to get fired,” Sharon said. “I was completely shocked. It was a harsh and unfair thing to do. The very least he could have done is to have told Louis and Kate rather than pretend it was all down to the producers.”
