Natalie Holt, 30, stormed the stage as opera singers Richard and Adam Johnson were approaching the climax of their performance of To Dream The Impossible Dream and began pelting the music mogul.
Speaking to the Telegraph she explained: “I basically took a stand against people miming on television and against Simon and his dreadful influence on the music industry”.
This came less than two hours after she issued an official apology in which she said that her actions were “silly”.
“I want to apologise to Richard and Adam for overshadowing their performance,” she had said. “I’ve never done anything like this before and in hindsight I have realised it was a silly thing to do”.
John Prescott, who famously punched a protester who threw an egg at him during a 2001 election campaign, today offered his support. He tweeted: “@SimonCowell I’m here if you need to talk.”
