Pop Idol judge loses her cool

Pop Idol judge Nicki Chapman reportedly lost her temper with finalist Tarek, shouting at him to let her finish, according to The Sun.

19 Management's Nicki Chapman had a rare loss of cool on this weekend's Pop Idol. Apparently it only took one of the top 100 finalists – Tarek – to interrupt Nicki mid-flow to cause the Pop Idol judge to snap.

An insider on the show told The Sun: "Nicki never loses her cool, but Tarek really got to her when he was chattering on. She yelled out 'Will you let me finish! You hack me off. Every time you talk you interrupt me'.

For the first time she really does drop her halo and you can tell she really means business."
