Simon Cowell has snubbed a dinner invite US President Barack Obama.
The music mogul rejected the invitation from Obama because he was too busy with his TV commitments.
Simon, 49, told US talk show host Jay Leno: “He wanted to have dinner and our diaries didn’t quite match. We just didn’t quite connect.”
A shocked Jay replied: “And what were you doing – whitening your teeth? Fixing your hair?”
Obama has previously likened his new job to being a contestant on one of Simon’s TV talent shows – which include American Idol and The X Factor.
He said: “I do think in Washington it’s a little bit like American Idol. But everybody is Simon Cowell. Everybody’s got an opinion.”
Simon has since invited the US leader to appear one of his shows.
Speaking to a radio station he said: “We’re trying to get Obama to do a show at the moment. He was talking about how everyone in Washington is a critic, like me. I’m not sure if it’s a compliment or not.”
