THE X FACTOR's notorious judge SIMON COWELL is obsessed with making money - and insists it is his main motivating factor in life.

The acid-tongued lothario admits he is completely mercenary in his outlook, and if he could bathe in cash, he would.

He says, "If it could pour on me every day like a shower I would lie in that shower for hours.

"I'm very motivated by money. I just love it. The only thing that would make me happier is more money."
