Moss 'is filming X Factor with Walsh'

Simon Cowell's brother has dismissed reports that Kate Moss turned down an offer to appear on The X Factor.

Earlier today, a tabloid claimed that Moss was unable to act as Louis Walsh's helper at the judges' houses stage because she had other commitments.

However, in a new radio interview, Tony Cowell insisted: "[The deal is] done and dealt with, she's definitely going with him. They are going to Tuscany - I think they are actually there as we talk and starting bringing the final 24 down to the top 12."

He continued: "So, yes, it is Kate Moss and Cheryl has Will Young alongside her whether she wants him or not! And, not surprisingly, Dannii has drafted in her sister."

Tony also revealed that his brother Simon will host his judges' houses round in Los Angeles with Sinitta.

Cowell made his comments in an interview with Real Radio's Real Breakfast Show with Ditchy and Salty. He was snapped up by the station as an X Factor correspondent last month.
