Quizzing Simon on why Britney Spears got the boot, Ellen stumbled as she attempted to find just the right way of posing the question.

'I think if I’m being honest with you, Ellen, there was a time I think everyone was trying to up themselves in terms of who could find the biggest known star to be on a panel,' he explained. 'And in terms of a pop singer? Jennifer Lopez and the other one on The Voice... I can't remember. Blondie. Christina [Aguilera]. And we said, “We’ll take Britney”. She was fine, but I think she found it very uncomfortable.'
'Yeah, she’s not a big talker,' Ellen replied.
'I didn’t realise that!' Simon admitted. 'I kind of booked someone who couldn’t talk, which is a bit of a problem when you want someone to judge.
