(ANI):
Simon
Cowell
has
admitted
that
he
is
taking
a
huge
risk
by
launching
'X
Factor'
in
the
States.
The
usually
cocky
mogul
burst
back
on
to
US
TV
last
week
in
a
brash
2-million-pound
advert
for
the
show
-
and
is
also
offering
a
3-million-pound
record
deal
to
the
winner.
But
despite
the
slick
marketing
he
admitted
that
the
more
cash
he
pours
in,
the
more
he
has
to
lose.
"Putting
up
that
kind
of
prize
money
-
it's
a
massive,
massive
risk," the
Sun
quoted
him
as
saying.
"But
it's
also
an
incredible
incentive
and
I
think
it
rightly
puts
everybody
under
an
enormous
amount
of
pressure.
"So
I'm
nervous,
but
also
confident
it
was
the
right
thing
to
do,"
he
added.
