Cowell dashes Jordan's pop dream

'X Factor' star Simon Cowell has withdrawn his vow to help glamour girl Jordan become a pop star.

The music mogul once claimed the sexy model had great potential as a vocalist - and even worked on a series of dance tracks with her.

Jordan - who tied the knot with pop star Peter Andre at the weekend, said at the time: "He [Cowell] really has faith in me and said I had star potential in bucket loads."

But the TV judge has now said he wouldn't work with 27-year-old Jordan, following her failure to qualify as Britain's entry in the Eurovision song contest.

Cowell, 45, said: "She's the kind of girl who does whatever she wants. I don't think she really cares about her pop career any more. I wouldn't release a record with her if she came to me now."
