Simon Cowell thinks it's impossible for people not to be attracted to Cheryl Cole.

The 51-year-old music mogul - who appears as a judge alongside the brunette beauty on his talent search show 'The X Factor' - admits he thinks the pop star is gorgeous, and thinks the feeling is ever so slightly mutual.

He quipped: "I fancy Cheryl. You can't not fancy her. Although I probably fancy her much more than she fancies me!"

Despite his small crush on the 27-year-old star, Simon - who is engaged to make-up artist Mezhgan Hussainy - thinks Cheryl is "totally mad".

And Simon believes the Girls Aloud singer spends a lot of her time trying to suppress her "madness".

He jokingly added to Britain's OK! magazine: "Cheryl has always been mad. If you look into her eyes you will see total madness. She was always fighting it but it was always there ready to come out. I've had the most bonkers conversations with Cheryl."
