Actress-model Kelly Brook says TV shows such as TV mogul Simon Cowell's 'The X Factor' are tacky.

The 'Piranha 3D' star, who had a short stint as a judge on the music mogul's 'Britain's Got Talent' in 2009 but was axed after less than a week, said she is glad that she didn't pursue a career as a reality TV judge, Daily Star reported.

"The only reason I joined was because Simon persuaded me to do it. Just like he seems to do with everyone! He's very, very persuasive.

"I never pursued that job... if I'd been a Strictly judge there's nothing that would have taken me from that job. Strictly is the most fantastic, lovely show with a very loyal following and it's... classy," she said.
