Steve Jones has joked that if he gets the boot from The X Factor, he’ll be after a date with his co-star Nicole Scherzinger. Reports surfaced earlier this week that the Welsh lothario was not going to be invited back for a second season of the reality series, although he dismissed the claims completely. “British tabloids, thank you very much for that. Merry Christmas, me,” he told Access Hollywood. “There’s been no conversation with FOX or Fremantle and there won’t be until the New Year. But quite frankly, we’re 100 per cent focused on making the best final possible for our viewers I don’t want to pull focus back on to me. If I’m back, great, if I’m not, I’ll do something else, simple as that.” But he admitted that there will be a few positives if he ever does part ways with the show as it means he can pursue the ’smokin’ hot’ judge. “We’re colleagues and we’re good friends,” he said of Scherzinger. “If I ever leave ‘X Factor,’ Scherzinger’s phone will be smoking hot from me ringing it constantly ’cause if we’re not colleagues oh, she’s fair game, oh yeah!”
