London,
(ANI):
X
Factor
star
Simon
Cowell
has
been
telling
his
friends
that
he
fears
the
number
of
good
acts
on
Britain"s
Got
Talent
are
'drying
out'.
Cowell,
50,
was
overheard
confessing
to
friends
that
he
felt
that
'the
pond
had
been
fished
dry',
reports
the
Mirror.
The
success
of
Susan
Boyle
last
year
and
several
dance
acts
attracted
19.2million
viewers
for
the
final
and
enabled
ITV
to
make
millions
in
ad
deals.
But
on
Saturday
the
show
got
its
lowest
ratings
of
the
new
run
with
an
average
of
only
9.5
million
tuning
in,
almost
three
million
lower
than
on
the
start
of
the
series.
"With
well
over
10
million
people
watching
every
episode
this
year,
Britain's
Got
Talent
is
by
far
the
most
popular
programme
on
a
Saturday
night," said
an
ITV
spokesman.
