London, Aug 31 (IANS) Music mogul Simon Cowell’s $1.5 million Spanish villa has been ruined by the contestants of ‘The X Factor’.

Simon was left fuming after they caused damage and he has vowed they will have to pay for it, reports thesun.co.uk.

‘Any damage will have to be paid out of their first royalty cheque if they make it to teach them a lesson,’ he said.

According to the report, the contestants raided Cowell’s bar and finished his champagne and Sapporo beer that he had flown in from Japan. Afterwards they went for swimming and stumbled back to their rooms trampling over furniture.
