Cliff Richard obsessed with 'X Factor'
Published Sunday, Feb 6 2005, 09:58 GMT | By Daniel Kilkelly
Sir Cliff Richard, who is often labelled as the "Mr. Nice" of showbusiness, has proved that even he can be nasty.
Cliff is a big fan of The X Factor and even invites friends over, including Richard & Judy and Gloria Hunniford, so that they can play the talent show with him.
One friend told the Sunday Mirror, "Cliff was hooked on the show when it was on telly last year. One night when he hosted a dinner party he insisted we all watch it with him.
"Afterwards, we all sang and Cliff judged our performance by pretending he was Simon Cowell - he even pulled his trousers up above his waist like Simon does and we fell about laughing.
"He was quite rude to Gloria especially, but it was all light-hearted."
Gloria added, "He has a great sense of humour. People think he's a softie, but he can put on a hard edge when he wants to."
