X-FACTOR wannabe Chico Slimani is a sex-mad slime-ball... I know because he tried it on with ME in a packed lift.
I cringed as the self-confessed Lothario propositioned me and made a series of crude advances while in a lift with fellow competitors Andy Abraham and Brenda Edwards.
I was stunned when I felt his wandering hands around my waist.
He laughed politely as I told him to take his hands off me, hoping not to make too much of a scene.
Then he joked about how much fun he was having surrounded by so many girls in such a small space and switched his attention to another victim.
During our interview earlier on, the 34-year-old former goat herder had squeezed my arm and whispered: "I've been locked up for eight weeks in here - I'm desperate for sex. I'm about to burst."
And as our chat drew to a close his true colours became clear.
I merely complimented the Welsh-born crooner on his firm handshake. But he turned the compliment into a chat-up line.
He sniggered: "I hope it's as firm as your a**e."
Chico travelled the world as part of male strip dance troupe Extreme Force before finding fame in the ITV show.
He tried to keep his past hidden from ITV bosses but his secret was revealed after he made it through to the final 12.
He said "There's no denying I was a stripper.
"I went round the world. I did my thing and shook my ding-a-ling. What can I say?"
Chico's behaviour proved to me that the X Factor joke has no respect for women.
His behaviour is insulting and as out-dated as his embarrassing TV performances.
