Police were called to auditions for the new series of the Simon Cowell produced talent show 'Britain's Got Talent' after a bugging device was found under the judges' table. It's suspected that a freelance journalist planted the device hoping to get scoop from being able to hear the auditions take place. But the listening device was detected when it started interfering with the TV show's maker's own recording equipment.
Confirming police had been called to check out the bugging device, Cowell told reporters: "This shows the extent to which people will go to get inside knowledge on what is going on".
