X Factor’s Scarlett Lee admits she annoys mentor Simon Cowell
SCARLETT Lee has insisted she is the most 'annoying' The X Factor contestant.
The 21 year old wants to make the most of her time on the competition and become 'friends' with her coach Simon Cowell, although she is aware she could be getting on his nerves.
Speaking to the powerhouse said: "For me, this is fun. This is a chance that you’ll never get back again.
“It will all be over in three weeks so I want him to approach me as a friend not a contestant.
“I am annoying."
Although Scarlett knows she irritates other competitors she doesn't plan on changing her personality.
She continued: "I annoy everyone in the house, so why would I change?"
Scarlett has insisted she annoys the 59- year-old music mogul by poking him, although she has claimed he 'loves' her nuances.
She added: "So I just annoy Simon, I poke him here and there. He loves it.”
Although the hopeful enjoys mucking around, she does no when to reign in her jokes.
She said: "I know when to be serious, don’t get me wrong."
Scarlett has struck up a great friendship with Simon - who has son Eric with Lauren Silverman - and feels she can joke with the businessman, and also call him when she is upset.
She said: "I can also call him when I feel down. I have this number.”
