TV personality Simon Cowell can't stand celebrity-based reality shows like "Strictly Come Dancing", "Celebrity Big Brother" and "I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!".
He has said he would never sign up for any of these programmes.
"'Strictly'? 'Big Brother'? 'I'm A Celebrity...'? I couldn't think of anything worse. I couldn't pick one. Which one is worse? And if I ever do - shoot me! Just make it quick, painless and I'll go," dailystar.co.uk quoted Cowell as saying.
The 54-year-old also said that if he ever married girlfriend Lauren Silverman, 37, he would try his best to escape doing the traditional first dance.
"I'd probably literally break my leg on purpose because I wouldn't want to do it," said Cowell, who is back on "The X Factor" to judge the arena auditions.
