Ronan Parke (Update: RONAN EMPIRE)There have been internet rumours about a boy called Ronan Parke, a music mogul called Simon Cowell and the 'fixing' of a UK TV programme.
On 3 June 2011, Ronan Parke said: 'I've never met Simon in my life.
"I'd love to, but I never have.
'I've been coached by the same teacher in Norwich that we've paid for.
"No one's paid for my clothes or anything.'It's really silly that people think that.
"They're just jealous that people are having a good time.
'I think it's great that Simon Cowell has put in the effort to get the police involved and everything and I'm happy they've said it's not true because it's definitely not.'

Michael Deacon in The Telegraph writes:
"Ever noticed how, every single week during any TV series made by Simon Cowell, a fresh 'scandal' about it 'erupts'?
"... I know we all love a conspiracy theory.
"But really, the only person to benefit from this latest one, in a way, is Simon Cowell.
"Because the more eagerly people swallow these supposed "scandals" about his programmes, the more the viewing figures shoot up."
Yawn - it's another supposed Simon Cowell scandal
Ronan was not groomed, according to his Mum. Was the story about Ronan Parke a hoax?

It would seem so.

Cowell's company threatened legal action against anyone who repeated the allegations.

Sony said in a statement:
"There has been speculation on the internet that Britain's Got Talent finalist Ronan Parke was known to and worked with Syco/Sony Music before entering the show. There is no truth in this story whatsoever.
"Ronan first came to Syco/Sony's attention when he entered this year's competition. Syco/Sony Music will not hesitate to take whatever legal action is appropriate to prevent further publication of these unfounded allegations."

Ronan Parke's mother Maggie says the 'grooming' story is untrue. (BBC News - Britain's Got Talent: Ronan Parke 'stardom' claim denied)
Maggie Parke said: "It's laughable, to be perfectly honest with you, and it couldn't be further from the truth.
"There's just no foundation in it whatsoever.
"My friend Susan Gunn told me that she'd seen it on the internet and we just had a laugh about it and didn't think any more about it because it's so untrue."
She said Ronan had applied to the show without her knowledge.
"It was just something he really wanted to do.
"He felt it was the right time for him to apply and the first we heard about it was when we got a phone call from Britain's Got Talent saying he had an audition," she said.

"The history of American Idol is littered with voting irregularities.
"An independent audit was done of actual phone logs the nights of the shows.
"In season three, Latoya London had gotten the most calls each week, but Diebold machines declared her a loser in one of the late elimination rounds.
