Fuller sues over 'rip-off' X Factor
Pop Svengali Simon Fuller has begun legal action against the makers of the talent programme The X Factor, claiming they ripped off the show Pop Idol he helped to create.
Fuller’s company 19 TV has served writs in the High Court alleging TV talent-spotter Simon Cowell, his businesses Syco and Simco and co-producers FremantleMedia are in breach of contract and copyright.
