Former X Factor USA host Steve Jones has confirmed that there is "no hard feelings" between himself and music mogul Simon Cowell after he left the show after only one series.

Jones was dumped from the American version of the TV talent show alongside judges Nicole Scherzinger and Paula Abdul.

However, Jones told The Sun that he doesn't harbour any ill feelings towards X Factor supremo Cowell - and would be up for working with him again in the future. He said:

"I have no hard feelings whatsoever towards Simon. It's a tough business and anyone trying to get into it should always keep in mind that it can go t**s up in a heartbeat. I'd work with Simon on the moon if given the chance."
