Tops UK women's secret crush list

A new poll found that the X Factor judge is secretly fancied by UK women, taking 33 per cent of their votes.

Surprisingly Radio One DJ Chris Moyles followed behind the music mogul in second place, with 14 per cent of women having a secret crush on him.

The top 10 poll surveyed thousands of British ladies, which revealed older powerful men took their fancy over pretty boy actors or rugged rock stars.

Actor Philip Glenister took third place with 11 per cent of votes, while Cowell’s rival Piers Morgan came in fourth.

Other men to make the top 10 list were Alan Sugar, Adrian Chiles, Chris Evans, Boris Johnson, Greg Wallace and Adam Woodyatt.

The poll surveyed 3,000 British women and was conducted by Fibre Plus.
