It has been reported that the woman who carried out this assault comes from Maidstone, Kent, which is unlikely to come as a surprise to some.
Natalie Holt, 30, was seen by millions of TV viewers taking eggs from a basic cardboard egg box and launching them in the direction of the show's guru, sitting in front of the studio audience on the judges' panel.
She suddenly emerged from the back of the stage to carry out her 'protest' in front of the startled audience and live television viewers during the performance by opera singing brothers Richard and Adam.
Miss Holt, a viola player, was part of the brothers' backing group.
She claimed to have targeted Cowell because she "did not like the shirt he was wearing" on the night of the incident.
Cowell took off his jacket after he was hit by at least one of the eggs.
It is believed Miss Holt was educated throughout childhood, in Maidstone, by various local gangs and yobs which has let to her egg-throwing career. In an interview she said while she was growing up in Kent she threw eggs at cars, houses, members of the public and a picture of Simon Cowell on a dartboard.
She later released a statement saying: "I want to apologise to Richard and Adam for overshadowing their performance. I’ve never done anything like this before and in hindsight I have realised it was a silly thing to do."
The musician is part of the Raven Quartet, who took part in last year’s Britain’s Got Talent show.
None of the three other quartet members were playing in last night's BGT final show.
