Simon Cowell will be wearing lucky underwear for ‘The X Factor’ final.
The 55-year-old media mogul – who still has two acts, Ben Haenow and Fleur East, in the competition – has revealed that he won’t be leaving his chance of winning down to fate when the public crown the ITV show’s champion on Sunday (14.12.14) night.
When asked if he’d be wearing any lucky pants on the show, he told BANG Showbiz: "I’m going to wear a pair of crisp white boxer shorts that Lauren [Silverman; his partner] bought me."
Meanwhile, Simon has blasted former contestant, Jake Quickenden, who was booted off the talent show in week three – and then went on to become the runner up of reality show ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!’ – for not "wanting" to win ‘The X Factor’.
When asked about Jake, Simon – whose acts will compete against Mel B’s Andrea Faustini in the ITV show’s final – said: "I think if you don’t want to win that tells me that you haven’t got that killer instinct to make it in the real world.
"If you are happy to come tenth and then go into the jungle then you’re not good enough. It’s not ‘meow’ it’s true.
"I mean we want people who want to be recording artists in the real world. He’s a nice guy but he could have gone in the jungle first then go on the show."
