Steve Jones: If I leave US X Factor, Nicole Scherzinger's phone will be hot from me ringing

The Welsh TV presenter looks to the positives of leaving his job

Steve Jones and Nicole Scherzinger were originally lined-up to co-host US X Factor

Steve Jones is mad about Nicole Scherzinger and he'll be in hot pursuit if he doesn't return as a presenter on US X Factor.

The Welshman doesn't know if he'll be signed up for Series 2 - if he's dropped, he'll definitely pursue the 33-year-old Pussycat Doll, who took Cheryl Cole's place as a judge on the show.

'If I ever leave X Factor, Scherzinger's phone will be smoking hot from me ringing it constantly,' says Steve, 34.

'If we're not colleagues - oh, she's fair game. Oh, yeah.' 

Though nothing's as yet been discussed, Steve is confident he'll have other options if Simon Cowell decides to let him go.

'If I'm back, great,' he tells Access Hollywood.

'If not, I'll do something else. Simple as that.'
