UK - Police were called to the audition venue for Britain's Got Talent today after a bugging device was discovered under the judges' table.
The surveillance equipment had been left overnight in the judges' room, where Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden and Piers Morgan embarked on a second day of filming.
Cowell said afterwards: "This shows the extent to which people will go to to get inside knowledge on what is going on."
A man was allegedly caught using a listening device in his car outside auditions in Manchester.
He was seen lurking backstage on Wednesday and the Palace Theatre room was swept yesterday after crew reports of sound interference.
TV bosses believe there is a possibility that a freelance journalist could have planted the device to find out what was being said in the judges' room. (more) (more)
