Simon Cowell is hoping to work with Celebrity Big Brother winner Shilpa Shetty.
According to Shetty's publicist Max Clifford, the Bollywood actress will meet with Cowell next week to discuss possible projects - sparking rumours that she could appear on X Factor's judging panel later this year.
"Depending on Simon's American Idol commitments, we're hoping they can meet on Friday," Clifford told the Daily Star Sunday. "Certainly Simon is very keen to have a chat with Shilpa to see exactly how they can work together."
A source close to Cowell added: "The way she carried herself on Big Brother means she's got the respect of people all over the UK. And she's clearly very talented to have appeared in the number of films she has."
