Kelly Rowland thinks Simon Cowell's 'X Factor' mentoring will help make him a good father.

The 'X Factor' USA judge is confident her fellow panellist will take to being a dad with ease because he is used to mentoring acts on the talent show and has become like a dad to some of them.

She said: "I think he's going to be a pretty cool dad. I feel like he has guided so many people into their careers and he's been like a father figure to several groups that he's put together.

"I think it's actually going to be a breeze for him.

"I think it's so crazy and feel that above anything, life happens and this is part of life, and a new life will be here - it just so happens it's going to be Simon's."

Kelly previously worked on the UK version of 'The X Factor' in 2011 and thinks Simon chose her to become one of the new judges on 'The X Factor' USA, alongside himself, Paulina Rubio and Demi Lovato, because of her intelligence.

She added to LOOK magazine: "He picked me because I'm smart and definitely up for the job. Simon is very smart and I trust him. I think the rest of the world trusts him as well."
