London, Aug 18 (ANI): It seems X Factor judges Simon Cowell and Dannii Minogue have the hots for each other.

After the singer revealed that she found him very attractive, Cowell returned the compliment revealing that he felt that 'mysterious' Minogue was 'incredibly sexy'.

"There's something about her (Dannii) that's very mysterious - I think she keeps some aspects of her character private," the Daily Mail quoted Cowell, as telling The Sun.

"She's an incredibly sexy girl, but she doesn't realise how sexy she is," he said.

The 47-year-old preferred Dannii to elder sis Kylie 'any day'.

"I tell you something, given the choice between Kylie and Dannii, I would go for Dannii any day," he said.

"I think she has been a little bit in Kylie's shadow, but she is, in her own right, very intelligent and very savvy," he said.

Earlier the 35-year-old singer had revealed that she found Cowell very 'fanciable' because of his confidence.

"Simon is very fanciable. It's his confidence," she said. (ANI)
