Turning on the charm: Justin Bieber had just performed songs Somebody To Love and Baby on last night's live X Factor when he hit on Cheryl Cole, saying hello to her suggestively, and miming that she should call him


He's one of the biggest popstars in the world, so who could blame Justin Bieber for grasping the chance to chat up Cheryl Cole whilst live on the X Factor last night - despite the 11 year age gap?

Justin, 16, had just performed a mash-up of tracks Somebody To Love and Baby on the results show - though he mimed throughout to concentrate on his smooth dance moves.

As he finished, he was joined on stage by host Dermot O'Leary, then promptly flirted with Cheryl, 27, after thanking his fans for all their support,
'I want to say hello to Cheryl Cole, hello,' he said, waving at the judge and raising his eyebrows, before making a 'call me' gesture with his hand.

The Girls Aloud star reacted by laughing and looking a little embarrassed. Dermot then said: 'Cracking on to Cheryl Cole! What a precocious young man.'

justin even made his feeling clear afterwards on his official Twitter account, saying: 'Cheryl u looked lovely as usual.'

He also joked: 'X Factor we had fun. Simon told me he listens to my CD every night before he goes to bed.'

Justin has been on the receiving end of flirting from older women of late, with newly-wed Katy Perry, 26, congratulating him with a kiss at the American Music Awards last week after he walked off with four gongs.

And the Canadian teen sensation enjoyed a night out with Rihanna, 22, earlier in the month.

The Only Girl In the World singer tweeted at the time: 'Justin Bieber just flashed me his abs in the middle of a restaurant! Wow! He actually had a lil 6 pack! Sexy.'

He also got close to Kim Kardashian, 30, on a photshoot for Elle magazine in the summer.


Jumping for joy: Justin seemed in high spirits when he left the show


Bieber was discovered two years ago after posting his home-made pop videos on YouTube. They were seen by R&B star Usher, who helped his young protégé win a record contract.

Now the teenager is the hottest commodity in the music world. His album, ‘My World 2.0’, has sold almost two million copies since its release last year, thanks mainly to the devotion of his young female fans.

He was mobbed when he left the X Factor's Fountain Studios in North London to go back to his hotel and is today jetting off to Spain.

Meanwhile, it's rumoured that Justin has started working with a specialist in order to keep his voice from breaking.

A source told the News Of The World: 'Justin is developing at a slower rate than most guys so his voice is only breaking now.'.

'He's working with the best in the business, a specialist called Jan Smith, to make sure he gets much vocal rest as humanly possible for a working popstar.'
