Simon Cowell: Industrial tribunal is dropped. Pic: TalkbackThames
Britain's Got Talent contestant Emma Czikai's attempt to lodge a tribunal case against Simon Cowell has failed.
The 54-year-old was denied permission to start a case against Freemantle Media and Cowell's TV company Simco for discrimination.
Czikai claimed that her performance on Britain's Got Talent should not have been shown because producers were aware that she suffers from fibromyalgia.
The illness causes painful swelling all over the body, tiredness and spondylosis in the neck.
Emma also allegedly that following surgery to remove excess skin from her arms she was in pain while holding the microphone.
Speaking after the pre-hearing in central London, she told PA: "My life has changed so markedly, now all I want to do is just forget about everything.
"I would rather walk away from it. I've done as much as I can to bring it to the public's attention.""
She added that was pleased the case was dropped as she was "sick of the whole thing".
The pre-hearing dropped the case because they claimed that too much time had lapsed since the audition and that Cowell was never her employer.
