Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor has admitted that he is an admirer of Cheryl Cole.

Taylor, who also performs in Stone Sour, said the X Factor judge had caught his eye when he saw her on the front page of a newspaper.

But the singer said it is unlikely that he would pursue Cole because he is not a fan of reality TV.

“She had these strappy stocking things on,” he told the Daily Star. “I don’t have a clue what she sounds like, though, and I’ve never watched her on X Factor.

“I think reality TV is a pile of crap, so we probably won’t be collaborating any time soon.”

As previously reported, Cole is on course to top the UK singles chart this weekend with her new track 'Promise This'.
