With their endless displays of affection and constant flirtation, there has always been speculation surrounding the nature of their relationship.
With their shared smooches, red-carpet cuddles and apparent segxwal tension, Simon Cowell and Paula Abdul could often be mistaken as a couple.
Now the 52-year-old X Factor judge has revealed that he actually came close to sleeping with the 49-year-old Opposite Attract singer
Speaking to Barbara Walters on her annual 10 Most Fascinating People Special last night, Cowell said he considered bedding his friend of nine years, however he was terrified about the aftermath.
'I considered it, but then I thought, "I don't think the after would be as good as the before," he explained.
'I'd let her stay for a few hours, but then it would have to be goodnight,' he joked.
He said that Abdul desperately wanted something to happen between the pair.
'A million percent,' he said.
He explained that during the first season of American Idol the pair couldn't stand each other, on account of her feelings towards him.
'I mean, the truth was, on the first two seasons, we couldn't travel on the same plane together. We really disliked each other that much,' he said.
