The X Factor: Simon Cowell had people in stitches with THIS comment
TONIGHT'S X Factor saw a bizarre audition from a cockatoo-obsessed contestant.
Simon says: "Louis likes a cockatoo"
Contestant Cori Burns performed for the judges before 38-year-old Nicole Scherzinger gave a "yes" for the cockatoos.
Cori, 60, explained how much she loved the birds and asked Simon Cowell, 56, if he liked them too.
Sounding like something else, the panel giggled before Simon turned to 64-year-old Louis Walsh and laughed: "Louis likes a cockatoo."
The comment caught the attention of viewers who were in stitches after the comment.

How The X Factor tweeted the story
However, not all viewers saw the funny side and branded the pre-watershed innuendo inappropriate.
"Simon Cowell's comment that Louis 'likes a cockatoo' came over as quite smutty...and not really appropriate at 8.20pm."
Although the audition brought a few laughs, unfortunately for Cori and her customised ‘cockatooter’ mobility scooter, the contestant did not make it through to bootcamp.
The X Factor continues tomorrow at 7:30pm on ITV.
