Remember our first kiss? Simon Cowell's childhood crush surprises him on air
Not many people get the better of Simon Cowell.
But the self-styled "Mr Nasty" was left red-faced when the woman he shared his first kiss with at the tender age of nine called in to American Idol to remind him of the experience.
Referring to the time Cowell kissed fellow judge Paula Adbul on the show, Tara McDonald-Smith said: "Simon, you say that some performances are really forgettable, so which of these two performances was the most memorable - your kiss with Paula Abdul or your first kiss with me at the bottom of your garden... when you were nine years old?"
The 48-year-old seemed taken aback by the call, and was - unusually - briefly lost for words.
But he recognised her voice immediately, saying: "Tara Miller, is that you? This was literally my first kiss - this was my first crush."
Abdul and colleague Randy Jackson were delighted to gang up on Cowell with Mrs McDonald-Smith - who was seven when she kissed the TV host at the bottom of the garden of his childhood home in Radlett, Hertfordshire.
