National Television Awards: Nigel Harman's Simon Cowell Impersonation - Hit Or Miss?

WATCH: Nigel Harman's Simon Cowell Impression - Hit Or Miss?

Nigel Harman debuted his Simon Cowell impersonation for upcoming Harry Hill musical 'I Can't Sing' to the nation at the National Television Awards, on Thursday, to mixed reviews.

Nigel's fabulously camp take on the 'X Factor' boss and music mogul tells the story of how Simon went from bullied school boy to millionaire with very high-waisted trousers. And includes a cameo from a Sintta look-a-like dressed in palm tree leaves.
