X FACTOR BOSS SIMON COWELL WANTS HIT TOON TO RIVAL THE SIMPSONS.

X FACTOR supremo Simon Cowell wants to create a cartoon series to rival The Simpsons.

X Factor boss Simon Cowell is a huge fan of The Simpsons and is jealous of the amount of cash the hit series has made.

He wants to cash in too – by creating his own toon.

Simon, 50, will feature in The Simpsons: Celebrity Friends.

He said: “Their appeal is broad and they make a lot of money.

“You kind of hate them for making so much money. It makes me physically sick knowing how much money they have made over the years.

“Maybe I should start a cartoon one day.”

Simon and a host of famous faces including Hugh Hefner, 83, will help the series celebrate its 20th anniversary next month with a string of specials hosted by Ricky Gervais, 48.

A week of Simpsons specials begins on Sky1 and Sky1HD on January 11.
