Simon Cowell has admitted he "can't watch" back the moment in which One Direction came third on The X Factor.

The music mogul confesses he can't believe the boyband didn't win the talent show during their time in 2010.

Speaking at a press conference ahead of this series' finale in London, Simon said: "I still can't watch the moment when One Direction came third. I was so arrogant that we were going to win... So even though they've done well, I still would've liked for them to be able to say they won 'The X Factor'."

The star returned as a judge earlier this year alongside Louis Walsh, Mel B and Cheryl Fernandez-Versini.

Revealing that they're his dream limeup, he did admit other stars have turned down a job on the panel in the past when their demands weren't met.

"[They've] not so much turned me down but, sometimes, we just won't pay them what they want. Some of the salaries are getting insane over the last couple of years."
