Simon Cowell won"t let it go down when it comes to leather. Having a fetish for leather, he spent 20,000 pounds to cover the walls of his X Factor dressing room with it. The room is in grey and black, with slate-coloured leather tiles, enormous mirrors, and a huge bathroom decked in imported Spanish marble.

The music mogul"s room is on the top floor of the show"s Fountain Studios in Wembley, North London. It has a 5,000-pound leather sofa with matching armchairs and is full of hand-made, Italian mahogany furniture.

The X-factor judge"s room is also filled with ashtrays for the smoker, and bottles of champagne in crystal ice buckets. The car-mad Cowell has stacked it with Top Gear magazines and adorned it with his favourite musical act - Frank Sinatra. The air-conditioned room is also said to be kept at 21 degrees.

Simon Cowell"s room is a far cry from the dressing rooms that the other judges and hosts Dermot O"Leary and Holly Willoughby have. Even superstar guest acts like Whitney Houston and Robbie Williams have inferior accommodation. The room has been designed to his taste, which means no clutter and dark colours.
