Dragons' Den star Duncan Bannatyne has tipped X Factor runners-up JLS to make a fortune in the months ahead.

The businessman heaped praise on the four-piece after meeting them at the MOBO Awards in Glasgow on Wednesday night, the Daily Star reports.

Bannatyne told the newspaper: "I love the boys. I think having them up here in Scotland with the rest of the MOBO acts is great."

He added: "JLS will be worth more than me soon."

Meanwhile, bandmember Aston Merrygold, 21, said that meeting the Scot had provided a perfect opportunity to impress his concerned mother.

Merrygold said: "She's always worrying about what she reads about us partying in the papers so now she can finally get something positive by seeing me with him."

JLS went home with two awards at the MOBOs.
