I've known about this for some time now, but Simon Cowell has finally revealed that he had an affair with former X Factor judge Dannii Minogue.
I knew the pair had been enjoying some romps during their X Factor days and now Simon has come clean about the sexual relationship.
In extracts from his new autobiography Simon says he was with the Australian star and says it was genuine love. In the new book Simon says he was with her back in 2008.
'I had a crush on her. It was Dannii's hair, the sexy clothes and the t**s. I was like a schoolboy. She was foxy. She was a real man's girl. Very feminine.'

The book describes how Dannii became Cowell's target when he changed the X Factor judging panel in 2007 to include her, allegedly calling her a 'new toy.'
Soon after the pair were snapped holding hands in the back of a taxi, but at the time Simon said that was just the angle that the picture was taken.

The next year Simon recruited Cheryl Cole to replace Sharon Osbourne, who had quit after constant rows with Dannii, it turns out Sharon knew about the affair too.
And all of a sudden Cheryl was sitting next to Simon and Dannii was moved over to the other side of the panel with Louis. Clearly their love affair was over.

The new book also claims that Simon wanted to start an affair with Cheryl while she was still married to Chelsea footballer Ashley Cole.
Although he never got to bed the Geordie Simon does admit he slept with Natalie Imbruglia. Wow he really does get around.
