Simon Cowell recently confirmed to TMZ that Britney Spears almost did walk off the set of The X Factor on day one — for more than just a potty break — but new behind-the-scenes clips from those early episodes show the judges in nothing but high spirits. Simon teases Demi Lovato about her nerves, saying the worst that can happen is her “career is over,” and then they gossip about boys. Of course, the “boy” in question just so happens to be a superstar himself — Niall Horan of One Direction. Watch above and below.
