X Factor judge Dannii Minogue has officially invited Twilight star Robert Pattinson to appear on The X Factor.

Minogue told the Daily Mirror the 23-year-old actor, who is apparently a big fan of the show, would be given access-all-areas if he accepted the invitation.

She also claimed Pattinson would get more attention from female admirers than fellow judge and music mogul Simon Cowell.

The former singer said: “I know he was born in Britain but he spends most of his time in America.

“Even so my X Factor crew would love to meet him - and he has officially been invited by the gang to one of the live shows.”

She added: "I reckon Robert might get more screaming fans than Simon Cowell. Robert might just have to bite his own lip if that happen.”

An unnamed source said Pattinson was a “massive fan” of the reality talent contest and tried to keep up with it as often as possible when he was working abroad.

“He'd love to meet the judges and hang out with them backstage so he is thrilled with Dannii's offer,” the source added.

Pattinson is currently filming the third film in the Twilight Saga, Eclipse, in Vancouver, Canada.
