Cheryl Cole admits Simon Cowell is like a father-figure for her on The X Factor.
The Girls Aloud star says her fellow judge, 51, always looks out for her on the ITV show.
'I often rely on his opinion for things,' Cheryl, 27, tells X Magazine.
'He's been in the business, like 30 years? He's smart. It's his show.
