Simon Cowell says Nick Grimshaw's job on 'The X Factor' is "100 per cent safe".
Although the Radio 1 DJ has been blamed for the show's falling ratings, after joining the panel as a replacement for ousted judge Louis Walsh this year, Simon has insisted that he is happy with Nick's contribution.
He told the Daily Mirror: "I think he's doing good. Is he being sidelined for Louis [Walsh]? No chance, forget it. He is 100 per cent safe.
"I did say to Nick beforehand: 'If it all comes on top you know what the score is. You will get good weeks and not so good weeks'. I think he is tough and he gets it."
Simon also revealed that he apologised to Nick after Sunday's (28.09.15) episode of the programme showed him slamming a laptop shut ending a Skype call to the DJ.
He said "I didn't know they were going to put that in. That was quite embarrassing. It was meant as a joke but it didn't quite come across in that way."
Meanwhile, it was recently revealed that Sinitta has been snubbed from Simon's Judges' Houses on 'The X Factor'.
The 'So Macho' singer has been a regular fixture at show boss and judge Simon's Judges' Houses for years but it's now been reported she will not be joining him at the palace in France he's secured for filming as he'll instead be advised on what contestants to put through by One Direction star Louis Tomlinson.

Martin Freeman thinks Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson are merely good friends - and nothing more.
The 44-year-old actor - who stars as Dr. John Watson in the crime drama 'Sherlock' - has dismissed the notion of a mutual attraction between the iconic literary figures, insisting it is just a "deep friendship".
Martin - who appears opposite Benedict Cumberbatch on the popular show - told BANG Showbiz: "It's a friendship. Obviously way more has been made in the ether of that relationship than has ever been put in the show.
"The trouble is, as soon as you get into a dialogue about that it sounds like you're kind of denying things or something, being homophobic to say, 'They're not actually f**king!' And it is possible, I think, for people of the same sex to have a deep friendship without actually being attracted to each other."
The 'Hobbit' actor added that although the characters love each other, there is nothing sexual about their dynamic.
He reflected: "The thing is people are attracted to each other in all sorts of ways. You don't necessarily want to have sex with someone just because you love them, do you know what I mean? They respect each other, they bring different things to their friendship."

Paul O'Grady has "withdrawn" since Cilla Black died.
The 60-year-old presenter was devastated when his close friend passed away in August and he admits he is still in a "strange state" as he comes to terms with her passing.
He said: "After anyone close to you dies, you're in a strange state for a while.
"I've withdrawn a bit and gone into myself. I just get on with my work. I'm not in the mood for partying, put it that way.
"I was destroyed after her funeral. We were so close. We knew what each other was thinking. We had a special bond.
"I used to say to her, 'You'll see me out, you' and I got that wrong, didn't I?"
Paul - who has previously suffered two heart attacks - admitted Cilla's passing has made him question his own life, but he has no plans to quit work and slow down.
He told Closer magazine: "It does make you start to think a bit more about your own mortality. But I've no plans to retire. I'm 60 now but still enjoying it.
"And taking stock of your life is depressing - it dampens ambitions if you start thinking like that."

Jake Wood wasn't "completely convinced" by his latest 'EastEnders' storyline.
The 43-year-old actor's character Max Branning was seen escaping from the court room after he was falsely found guilty of murdering Lucy Beale in last night's (28.09.15) episode and he's now confessed he was sceptical when he first read the script.
He said: "Sometimes you get scripts and you're not completely convinced by them. It seemed a little bit far fetched but apparently it's happened a few times in real life, people have jumped over the barriers and done a runner and it's our job to make it look real and I saw the end of it last night and I thought it looked great."
Jake also revealed Max could remain on the run until he returns from his 13 month break from the soap.
He told ITV's 'This Morning': "Max has done a runner, tonight we'll find out what's happened. This week is my last week on screen ... Obviously they're going to work out my break into the story so Max is either on the run or gets recaptured, we don't know, we find out this week, so it will be interesting to see what plays out."
The former 'Strictly Come Dancing' hunk is now looking forward to spending some quality time with his wife Alison and their two children, Amber and Buster.
Asked why he'd decided to take a break from 'EastEnders', Jake added: "I've been there for nine years, done just under a thousand episodes ... I've got two small children at home so it'll be nice to reacquaint myself with the family. It felt the right time to take a break."

Rochelle Humes and Melvin Odoom would be "terrible judges" on 'The X Factor'.
The 'Xtra Factor' co-hosts don't fancy their chances on the panel of the talent show and wouldn't want to be in Simon Cowell, Rita Ora, Nick Grimshaw and Cheryl Fernandez-Versini's shoes because they have get to have such a "laugh" with all the contestants instead of telling them whether they're good or bad.
Speaking at the Pride of Britain Awards at London's Grosvenor House Hotel, Rochelle, 26, confessed: "We meet them before the judges do and we spend the day with them, or a couple of days. If I know at the audition stage ... Even if we know that they're not great singers we're like, 'But they're nice people!' We'd be terrible judges, the pair of us.
"Honestly I couldn't do it. We're just there to play a few games and have a laugh."
Meanwhile, KISS FM DJ Melvin, 35, has praised the "talent" on this year's show.
He said: " We're there to essentially support everyone. But the talent is through the roof this year."

Sinitta has been snubbed from Simon Cowell's Judges' Houses on 'The X Factor'.
The 51-year-old star has been a regular fixture at show boss and judge Simon's Judges' Houses for years but it's now been reported she will not be joining him at the palace in France he's secured for filming as he'll instead be advised on what contestants to put through by One Direction star Louis Tomlinson.
A source shared: "Simon and Sinitta haven't fallen out. They're just trying something different this year."
Although former judge Louis Walsh previously had more than one guest adviser on the talent show, the decision to make Judges' Houses partly live is said to have made scheduling much more complicated.
The insider told Radio Times Online: "As part of it's live, it's a case of timings. We're only going to see the contestants' performances on location, as the decisions are being made back at Wembley. So there's no time for all of those different critiques."
The news comes after Simon hinted Sinitta would be making an appearance on the show at the launch of latest series last month.
Asked if he would be inviting her to his Judges' Houses, he said: "How can I not?"

Chris Evans has confirmed the new series of 'TFI Friday' will be his last.
The BBC Radio 2 DJ brought the hit show back to life for a one off special earlier this year and is currently working on a full series but has admitted it will be his last because of his commitment to 'Top Gear'.
He said: "This is the long goodbye, I am not allowed to do any more 'TFI Friday."
Chris was announced as the new host of 'Top Gear' after presenter Jeremy Clarkson was sacked for punching a producer earlier this year and he's already counting down the days until it returns to TV.
Speaking at the Radio Times Festival, he joked: "'Top Gear' is not on until May, that's seven months, three days and 18 hours..."
However, the flame-haired presenter also claimed hosting the 'TFI' special earlier this year meant a lot to him.
He explained: "That was the happiest I have ever been on television. A lot of the time when we were doing 'TFI Friday' we were literally flying by the seat of our pants, it was hell to live through. With the [anniversary edition] of TFI we knew we had a golden programme to present, we were more relaxed so we could go and enjoy it."

Cara Kilbey has announced she's pregnant - six months after she suffered a tragic miscarriage.
The former 'The Only Way Is Essex' star sadly suffered a miscarriage five months into her first pregnancy in March but she's now confirmed she is expecting again.
She said: "I was so nervous up until the 20 week scan. I've been trying to relax and enjoy my pregnancy but there's always been a niggle of worry.
"Now I've got past that point and everything is perfectly healthy, I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders and I can start getting excited."
Cara, 28, discovered she was pregnant while on holiday in Thailand with her boyfriend Daniel just two days after they lit a lantern in memory of their lost child.
The brunette beauty told Closer magazine: "Daniel and I knew we wanted to get pregnant again straight away so I was overjoyed when I found out I was expecting two months later.
"I can see how something that traumatic can break up a couple. But we saw a different more caring side to each other and it brought us so much closer."

'The Great British Bake Off' star Tamal Ray has revealed he's gay.
The 28-year-old amateur baker has become an unlikely heartthrob while competing on the baking contest but has now broken the hearts of countless girls across the country by admitting he's looking for a boyfriend rather than a girlfriend.
Asked if he has a girlfriend, Tamal said: "I wouldn't have a girlfriend, I would have a boyfriend, but I am single at the moment. Although, yes, I have had a few offers on Twitter!"
Meanwhile, Tamal's fellow contestant Nadiya Hussain, 30 - who is studying for a degree in childhood and youth studies while raising her and her husband's three children - has opened up about challenging stereotypes by appearing on the show.
She told Radio Times magazine: "Originally, I was a bit nervous that perhaps people would look at me, a Muslim in a headscarf, and wonder if I could bake.
"But I hope that week by week people have realised that I can bake - and just because I'm not a stereotypical British person, doesn't mean that I am not into bunting, cake and tea.
"I'm just as British as anyone else, and I hope I have proved that. I think the show is a fantastic representation of British society today. The feedback I have had reveals how accepting people are of different cultures and religions. Now people know who I am, I can see how tolerant and accepting British society is."
