Rhydian Roberts – possibly the most pompous and cocky man in the world – has called for X Factor’s Simon Cowell to sack Cheryl Cole.

The former X Factor contestant doesn’t think Simon hired Cheryl because of her musical experience but insists she just fulfills the role of eye candy on the judging panel.

Rhydian told The News Of The World:

“She’s not a great singer and being a judge isn’t the hardest job in the world. You sit there and tell people when a note is flat. Cheryl’s eye candy. Simon’s the only judge people care about.”

He then angled: “I’d do it for what they get paid.”
