Simon Cowell has fulfilled his promise to his X Factor act Stevi Ritchie - as they enjoyed a meal at Harvester.

The pair enjoyed the salad bar and a budget meal in the Royal Harvester in Boston Manor, west London, which came after a conversation on the ITV show.

Stevi admitted to being nervous before dinner with his mentor, tweeting: " Ok so im having a meal at harvester with the boss man himself mr simon cowell and im sooooo nervous."

The 34-year-old singer invited Simon and One Direction singer Louis Tomlinson to a lads' night out in his home town of Colchester on Saturday's (October 25) episode, after he performed Footloose, made famous from the 1984 film starring Kevin Bacon.

"Can we go to a Harvester? I'd like that," Simon said, to which Stevi replied: "Yeah I'll show you all the top places."

While the duo didn't get to leave London, their dinner date went down a treat with both parties.

Stevi posted: " Really enjoyed my lovely dinner with my best friend and mentor @SimonCowell it was amazing such a great night thank you bossman xx."

The TV mogul also tweeted: "Thanks for dinner Stevi. Scampi and chips at the Harvester. Delicious," adding: "All you can eat. Boom!"
