Lily Allen has revealed that she mistakenly sent a suggestive text message to X Factor judge Simon Cowell.

The singer, who said this week that she wanted to appear as a judge on the talent contest, had intended to send the message to her grandmother.

But Allen realized she had sent it to Cowell when he responded with a puzzled reply.

“I was kind of seeing this guy and then it was over,” Allen told The Sun newspaper.

“So I texted my godmother in Jamaica and told her and as a joke I said, ‘Maybe my next conquest should be Simon Cowell.’

“You know when someone is in your mind and you accidentally text them? He replied, ‘Sorry?’”

Last month, it was revealed Allen once sent a topless picture of herself to Kaiser Chiefs’ Ricky Wilson by mistake.
