A report from the UK also notes that the flirtatious ways with the 19-year-old blonde - so far on the show his flirting has included calling Kellie "cute" and a "naughty little minx" - has carried on off-screen, too.
The 3am Girls dish:
Ladies' man Simon Cowell has taken his flirting a little too far - his womanising ways are sparking furious rows with his long-term lover, Terri Seymour.
TV presenter Terri, 31, has been incensed by Simon drooling over American Idol contestant Kellie Pickler - the show in which he is one of the judges.

Our US snitch tells us: "He is really affectionate to Kellie both on and off screen.
"They are often seen having intimate chats in the corner which has really annoyed Terri.
"She knows it's his job to make contestants feel at ease, but she feels he's crossed the line and is making her look a fool.

Uh-oh. Could Simon be making a Paula Abdul type mistake? Probably not.
But when the girls confronted 47-year-old Simon - nicknamed Mr. Nasty for his cutting putdowns on shows such as X Factor and Pop Idol - he remained unrepentant.
He said: "There's no point denying Kellie is gorgeous and, of course, Terri doesn't like me flirting with her. But she knows I'm a flirt."
But he also said he knew not to carry it too far.
