Taylor Lautner has admitted that no matter where he is in the world, he never misses an episode of American Idol.

The 18 year old actor, who shot to fame as Jacob Black in the Twilight movie franchise, might be filming or taking part in a promotional tour, but he has admitted that he always finds time to watch his favourite TV programme.

Speaking to Teen Hollywood, Taylor said: “American Idol, definitely. So You Think You Can Dance as well, but American Idol would definitely be number one for me. I haven’t missed an episode in eight or nine years.

“I can’t believe I just said that. I can’t sing, and that’s the funny thing. Maybe that’s why I like watching it so much. I know there’s no way I can do that.”
