Egg thrower 'took stand' over miming at BGT final

A musician who hurled eggs at Simon Cowell during the Britain’s Got Talent final has said she did so in protest against his “dreadful influence” on the music industry.

Natalie Holt, a viola player, was watched by an audience of more than 13 million people when she rushed to the front of the stage on Saturday night and threw the eggs at the show’s judges during a performance by Welsh singing brothers Richard and Adam.
