Simon Cowell has reportedly not spoken to his X Factor contestants for a month.

His acts Scott Bruton, Austin Drage and Eoghan Quigg have only spoken to his personal assistant.

He will meet up with them for the first time at rehearsals tomorrow.

A show source told the Daily Mirror: "He's not exactly been hands on. Simon is busy but he could have called to make them feel special."

Scott, 19, added: "He's always in LA doing promotion for American Idol, flitting here and there."

Meanwhile, Cheryl Cole has been looking after her acts and even took singers Diane Vickers, Alexandra Burke and Laura White over for dinner.

Alexandra, 20, said: "She even texted me at 2am last night to see how my hair was doing."

Dannii Minogue and Louis Walsh have also been spending time with their acts.

An X Factor spokeswoman said: "Simon has been away but has a team of experts, who he is in constant contact with, working with his singers."
