Two X Factor contestants 'desperate' to double date Simon Cowell

London, August 31 : Two contestants on the reality show X Factor are so smitten by the programme's judge Simon Cowell's sex appeal that they want to double date him.

The twin sisters Francine and Nicola Gleadall are so impressed with the 48-year-old's looks that they yearn to go out with him.

"Even though Simon's old enough to be our dad, there's a charm and a very nice feel about him," News of the World quoted Nicola, as saying.

To which, Francine added: "He's definitely got sex appeal."

The 19-year-olds, who claim to be the new Cheeky Girls from Sheffield, said that Simon could bring fellow X factor judge Louis Walsh along.

Francine said: "It would be ideal for us to have two boyfriends like Simon and Louis who share a bond between them.

"I think there'd be an argument over who would have who. Louis is cute. They're lovely in different ways."
