Corey Taylor, lead singer of renowned heavy metal band Slipknot, has admitted that he fancies Cheryl Cole.

“I saw her all over the front pages the other day. She had these strappy stocking things on,” said Taylor, who has been in the UK touring with his other band, Stone Sour.

“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,” Taylor told the 'Daily Star'.
