When it comes to attracting bikini-clad ladies on a beach, Simon Cowell showed he has The X Factor - he was snapped chatting with two sun-seekers during his annual Christmas break in Barbados.
The TV talent show king heads to his £5m home at the holiday hotspot every festive season to escape Britain's wintry weather and enjoy a balmy Christmas in the sun.
He was snapped enjoying a jet ski ride on Christmas Eve and chatting with two gorgeous admirers - but there was no sign of his fiancee Mezhgan Hussainy.
Dressed in a pair of loose-fitting cotton shorts, sunglasses and a life jacket, Cowell showed off his toned physique as he posed for photographs on the sand and shared a joke with the two giggling admirers.
Cowell traditionally spends Christmas in the Caribbean with his ex-girlfriend Sinitta. Cowell and Hussainy became engaged in February last year after meeting on the set of American Idol but have yet to announce a date for the nuptials.
