Minogue, Cole ask singer to strip

Dannii Minogue and Cheryl Cole ask X Factor hopeful Simone to strip on this weekend's show.

The judges request that the Italian singer takes his top off, claiming that it may persuade them to put him through to boot camp. He goes along with the girls' demands and performs Ricky Martin's 'She Bangs' with his chest on show for the audience.

Simone is a hairdresser who once worked as a stylist for Spice Girl Geri Halliwell, reports The Sun.

The final two X Factor audition rounds air on Saturday and Sunday this weekend on ITV1. Hotly-tipped girl group Kandy Rain, who met while working at Secrets lapdance club, will also make their first appearance on the show this week.
