Singing act The Dots left Simon Cowell baffled as they performed in a bid to win a place on stage at the Royal Variety Performance. The trio took to the stage to explain that they'd had to replace one of their members at the last-minute over 'creative differences.'
They told judges Simon, Alesha Dixon, Amanda Holden and David Walliams that one of the original dots walked out. "They were a bit difficult shall we say," they explained when pressed on the fall-out.
And as the act got underway on the ITV talent show Simon sat open-mouthed and tried to work out what was going on as the boogie woogie-style close-harmony singers performed out of time with each other, forgot their steps and squabbled. But then he admitted 'the penny has dropped' as things became even more chaotic.
