Olly Murs has laughed off being ignored by Cheryl Cole after asking for her number on Twitter.

The Xtra Factor man had cheekily tweeted the singer asking for her number - but Murs never received a reply.

Speaking on BBC's Graham Norton show, Murs brushed off the rejection and joked that her internet must be broken. He said:

"She tweeted me so I thought, 'Sod it why not ask for her number.' You can't blame a guy for trying. Her wifi must be down or something as I haven't heard from her yet."

Murs also spoke about how he doesn't sleep with "stunning women" - because they are usually just interested in selling their story. He said:

"I don't sleep with stunning women. Before I got famous no good looking girls would come near me. And now I get loads of gorgeous girls come up to me which is incredible but they only want one thing, to sell their story."
