MR NASTY LAPS UP DANCES

X FACTOR supremo Simon Cowell has confessed he’s a lapdance junkie.

He admits he regularly visits strip clubs, with his girlfriend Terri Seymour’s grudging blessing.

And he’s not planning on staying at home with slippers and kids yet – even though long-suffering Terri, 33, is desperate to start a family.

Instead, telly’s 48-year-old Mr Nasty is determined to carry on working – and playing – hard.

Rumours have been rife that Cowell even persuaded fellow X Factor judge Dannii Minogue, 36, to accompany him to lapdancing clubs. And Simon has not tried to deny them.

“I don’t have a problem with saying I like lapdancers,” he said. “Nothing wrong with that. If you don’t, you’ve got a bit of a problem.

“I haven’t got them living in my house. Sometimes I go out with some mates and we have a laugh.

“Terri’s not exactly doing a dance herself when I say I’m going out with the boys.

“But you’ve got to let off a bit of steam occasionally. It’s fun!’”

Simon’s 80-year-old mother, Julie Cowell, recently said she’d given up hope of getting any grandchildren from her son.

And Simon admitted he doesn’t want a family yet.

“I’ve got about five million kids in the world at the moment – all the kids that watch our shows,” he said.

X Factor judge says it's all about letting off steam

Simon Cowell is happy to admit he visits lapdancing clubs – and says it's all harmless fun.

The X factor judge is even said to have asked fellow judge Dannii Minogie to visit a strip joint with him.

'I don't have a problem with saying I like lapdancers,' Simon tells the Daily Star Sunday,

'Nothing wrong with that. If you don't, you've got a bit of a problem. I haven't got them living in my house. Sometimes I go out with some mates and we have a laugh.'

The 48-year-old is so blasé about ogling naked women that girlfriend that Terri Seymour doesn't kick up much of fuss about it.

'Terri's not exactly doing a dance herself when I say I'm going out with the boys,' he says.

'But you've got to let off a bit of steam occasionally. It's fun!'

Read that in one of the Sunday papers yesterday. It's even posted on here in the X Factor section.

I must say Now seem a bit slow with their news.

Doesnt every male enjoy strip clubs?

Not another Now magazine story

They really do have an odd perception of what "news" is.

I can't say that surprises me in the slightest. Simon seems the type of person who probably would visit a strip club, and have no qualms about it whatsoever despite having a girlfriend. That's part of his general image/persona as well, and accounts for a lot of his appeal to the opposite sex.

Having said that, I find the accusations about him having affairs with acts on the X Factor etc. a little disturbing, what with the rumours about Leona last year and then Louis throwing a knife in the works with the 'Hope' comment on Saturday night. Although it was probably said in jest (even if it didn't sound that way), it's not something to joke about in the sense that a lot of people probably secretly think he behaves in an inappropriate manner with those he mentors, which is uncalled for. The media in particular emphasises such points.
