Idol judge harassed

Australian Idol’s Mark Holden says he may have to call in police to put a stop to harassment from aggrieved contestants.

Holden says rejected contestants are phoning his house in the early hours of the morning.

“My wife keeps picking up the phone. The people are always asking to speak to me,” he told the Herald-Sun.

Then again, nothing like having a news angle to plug a show under attack from Kath & Kim.
