"Bruce Forsyth has admitted that he is not a fan of The X Factor, branding the hit show &amp;quot;embarrassing&amp;quot;. The Strictly Come Dancing host explained that he has never managed to sit through a full episode of Simon Cowell&amp;#039;s talent series because he does not find it entertaining enough. Speaking to The Mirror, Forsyth commented: &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s not my cup of tea, I haven&amp;#039;t watched an entire show. I can&amp;#039;t hear people singing for two hours, that to me is not entertainment. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m an old variety performer, I want to see a juggler, or something to break it up. I hate seeing people disappointed in public. It can be embarrassing at times.&amp;quot; The veteran entertainer also claimed that the ITV1 programme has become too over-the-top, remarking: &amp;quot;Bigger venues and the pyrotechnics made it much more of an event last year. Sometimes it was like a firework display with someone singing to be voted on. The electricity bill must have been enormous.&amp;quot; The X Factor and Strictly Come Dancing will both return to screens later this year. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
