Simon Cowell hired a group of strippers for Cheryl Cole.
The 54-year-old music mogul organised six erotic dancers known as 'Highland Fling' as a surprise for the 'Crazy Stupid Love' singer's 31st birthday.
Simon invited the group to the Edinburgh auditions of the ITV talent show where they performed to Nelly's hit 'Hot In Here' in front of the pair and their fellow judges, Louis Walsh and Spice Girl Mel B.
The 'Crazy, Stupid, Love' singer is said to have been mortified by Simon's birthday surprise while the rest of the judges enjoyed the show.
A source told The Sun: "Cheryl was hiding behind her hands. She looked so embarrassed.
"But the other judges thought it hilarious."
Meanwhile, Cheryl - who turned 31 on Monday June 30 - spent the weekend celebrating in style at her rose-themed birthday party.
The singer, was treated to a lavish three-tier birthday cake adorned in the thorny flowers and several bouquets of red roses.
The birthday girl posed for a picture on Instagram with a cocktail in hand, in front of the roses and a romantic arrangement of candles.

On another shot depicting her sumptuous-looking birthday cake she wrote: "Red velvet Rose decorated Birthday cake #AllRoserrrything #Bestbirthdayever thank you for your messages [sic]."
