Cowell’s book lacks the X Factor for hotel guests

SIMON Cowell’s biography is the book most often left behind in hotel rooms, according to a survey.

His Britain’s Got Talent co-stars Ant and Dec did not fare much better either with their joint autobiography, Ooh! What A Lovely Pair: Our Story, in second place.

The third most-discarded read was a slightly more serious tome – Business Secretary Vince Cable’s book about the world economic crisis.
