London, Feb 7 : Kelly Brook has suggested that Simon Cowell’s shows like ‘The X Factor’ are less “classy” than rivals such as ‘Strictly Come Dancing’.

The 32-year-old star was a judge on the music mogul’s ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ in 2009 but was axed after less than a week.

Now she maintains that she is happy with her decision not to pursue a career as a reality TV judge and even suggested that Cowell talked her into taking on the role for his show.

“The only reason I joined was because Simon persuaded me to do it. Just like he seems to do with everyone! He’s very, very persuasive,” the Daily Express quoted her as telling Fabulous magazine.

“I never pursued that job... if I’d been a Strictly judge there’s nothing that would have taken me from that job. Strictly is the most fantastic, lovely show with a very loyal following and it’s... classy,” she added. (ANI)
