British singer Leona Lewis has rubbished rumors of a romance with her
mentor Simon Cowell - because he is too old.
Cowell, 48, discovered 22-year-old Lewis as a judge on British TV
talent show The X Factor, and is masterminding her quest for musical
success - but that's as far as their relationship goes.
She says, "He's a real gentleman and really supportive - he's very
popular with the ladies. I didn't fancy him, he's old enough to be my dad!
But a lot of my friends who met him thought he was lovely."
