Simon Cowell - Simon Cowell Falls For Cheryl Cole Lookalike Francesca Neill

Cowell claims to be apprehensive about approaching Francesca, who is the former girlfriend of British R&B star Craig David. The man himself told Stephen Mulhern on Britain's Got More Talent, "We have the new, cutest make-up artist. But I just can't talk to her, I'm kind of tongue-tied". Cowell was asked by Mulhern whether he wanted a good word putting in, to which the judge replied, "No, that would make it awkward". Fellow judge David Walliams also got involved, shooting Simon down and telling him, "She's got a boyfriend". Simon smiled and said "Good", to which Stephen replied, "I hear he's a cagefighter". One fan took to Twitter to alert Francesca of the news, saying, "Ooh Simon thinks ur cute!!!", to which she replied, "Hahaha that was so funny x".

Francesca, also a former Miss Manchester and Leeds University graduate, has done the makeup for Girls Aloud singer Nadine Coyle as well as X Factor winner MATT CARDLE.
