Voiceover man Peter Dickson is said to have almost walked out of The X Factor yesterday after producers planned to replace him for the show’s introduction sequence.

According to Heat, show bosses wanted to use Redd Pepper, who has provided voiceovers on various film trailers as well as links featured on Radio 1′s Breakfast show, for the opening to movie week.

The plans reportedly left Dickson unhappy, and a source said: “Redd Pepper was brought in who is a friend of Peter’s to voice a small section of the show for movie week.

“Peter’s management weren’t happy at the decision made by X Factor bosses to replace Peter in the opening sequence to voice the signature opening the public have grown to love, and threatened to remove him from the show for good! Thankfully, normality was restored.”
