Sinitta has revealed that she recently asked Simon Cowell if she could come on board as the fourth X Factor judge. He turned her down, but she is convinced that he said no because he was scared she would win.

Sinitta told BANG Showbiz:

“I asked Simon if I could be the fourth judge, but he wouldn’t let me. He said it was because he needed me to mentor his acts when he was doing ‘American Idol’ in the States.

“He told me he couldn’t do it without me and that I was Robin to his Batman, but I know he was just scared that I would beat him.

“In fact I think I even have a better musical intuition than Simon. I saw that Daniel and Natasha Bedingfield would be huge talents and told him to sign them, but he didn’t listen to me and they both went on to be very successful.”

Speaking at the skymag launch party at London’s Bloomsbury Ballroom last night, she said: “I would definitely be better than Dannii. I don’t think she takes anything away from the show, I just don’t think she brings anything new.

“She is just like a mini Sharon, she even looks like her a bit. She is too polite and mimics Sharon’s compassion.

“They needed a new flavour and I would have brought that.”

Seriously? Is Sinitta out of her mind? Did she watch herself back on Grease Is The Word? Simon has shown his usual common sense by not letting Sinitta have anything other than a minor role in one of his biggest TV shows. As a judge, she would be awful. On Grease she was more interested in her own outfits and hairstyles than in the contestants performances.

Simon made the right call once again!
