Brian McFadden has reportedly told a contestant on Australia's Got Talent to "F*ck off back to England." 'Cause he's looking for additional camera time on BORDER SECURITY: Australia's Front Line, or something.
For those who don't know, the former Westlife singer is a judge on the program, and it is alleged an argument broke out on the set of the talent show after a 50-year-old mother of two, Anne Ferguson-Howe, completed a comedy routine and was being questioned by the panel of judges.
Ferguson-Howe reportedly commented on another judge's controversial background (not even his own) at which point it is claimed McFadden "pulled his mike off, climbed on stage and very cleverly, without anyone hearing, said: 'Why don't you just f ... off back to England."
Sydney's Daily Telegraph reports Ferguson-Howe as saying, "I'm a thick-skinned woman of 50 who loves a laugh but if it had been a 20-year-old girl the size I am with low self-esteem I think I would have gone home and shot myself."
A spokesperson for Channel 7, which broadcasts the show, said: "All contestants who take part in the auditions know what to expect (helpful relocaton suggestions/threats)... the exchange was unacceptable and didn't fit with the vibe of the show (ridicule of the contestants, not the judges), so it was deleted."
