The 58-year-old music mogul's latest boyband PrettyMuch - who he has tipped to be the next One Direction - have revealed they were invited over to the 'X Factor' boss' London mansion to chill out and watch his favourite TV shows.

Austin Porter - who is joined by Brandon Arreaga, Edwin Honoret, Zion Kuwonu and Nick Mara in US group - told the Daily Star newspaper: "He's so cool, he asks us over to his house. It was funny I was talking to him before X Factor and said we should hang out and he replied, 'You know what guys, I would love that - spend the day just hanging out and watching cartoons together.'

"He's a big fan of cartoons - he watches them all the time and so do we."

Zion added: "He's dope. We call him godfather or our favourite uncle."

The lads are hoping to win the hearts of the nation with their new Ed Sheeran-penend hit.

Austin said: "It has a camp-fire vibe."

And while they've been compared to 'History' hitmakers 1D - Liam Payne, Harry Styles, Niall Horan and Louis Tomlinson - Brandon says they are much different and are a closer-knit bunch.

He said: "We are very different, we have a better bond. One Direction didn't get time to live with each other and create chemistry first. We have the luxury of being in a house together before making music."
