Simon Cowell on British Free Range Eggs

Simon Cowell lookalike Andy Monk explains why he only sources British Free Range Eggs.

During Richard and Adam's performance on Britain’s Got Talent, a woman ran from the back of the stage and threw several eggs

She was later revealed to be 30-year-old Natalie Holt, a member of Richard and Adam's own backing group

The pair continued singing as she was taken off stage by security guards

'Silly thing to do'

When the cameras cut to Simon Cowell afterwards he had taken his jacket off.

He joked that he had previously tweeted he did not like eggs and said: "I really don't like eggs now."

Hosts Ant and Dec apologised, saying: "That was not part of the act, and we'll get to the bottom of what happened."

Natalie Holt later released a statement through a spokesman for the show.

She said: "I want to apologise to Richard and Adam for overshadowing their performance.

"I've never done anything like this before and in hindsight I have realised it was a silly thing to do."

Police were called but no action was taken.
