The source went on to note how Simon knows that he can sometimes “be on the receiving end of their passion”.
It was also claimed Simon “even encourages them to misbehave”.
They added: “Even if sometimes the misbehaviour can cause a headache for the production team. Thankfully they were compensated for any hassle by a rare chance to have a good laugh at the boss’s expense.”
