Simon Cowell admits staring at Dannii Minogue's bum
X Factor judge Simon Cowell says he loves looking at Dannii Minogue's perky buttocks - he just can't help himself.
'Dannii reckons there's a picture on The X factor website where I'm staring at her bottom,' he explains.
'I probably was… but I think most people would if they were sitting next to her. She was probably sticking it out on purpose.'
The 48-year-old enjoys their harmless flirting and thinks Dannii's worked wonders for the show.
'She's become a sex symbol since joining,' Simon tells The Sun.
'She's got the Sophia Loren movie star sex appeal, I love sitting next to her.'
But Simon admits her presence on the panel has caused a bit of a stir with fellow judge Sharon Osbourne.
'It's not as bad as people have been saying,' he admits.
'But there is a competitiveness between them, particularly with Sharon because she was on the show before Dannii.
'They've both been given the young categories and we'll see who does the better job.'
