Twilight: new Moon star Robert Pattinson has become the envy of an entire nation after telling STV he’s never heard of The X Factor’s John and Edward – if only we could all be so lucky…

Rob admitted to being an X Factor fan in the past, but when asked by STV visitors if he was a “Team Jedward” kind of guy explained he hasn’t had a chance to catch it this year, being busy filming third movie in the Twilight saga Eclipse.

When asked if he’s an X Factor fan, Rob confessed to preferring the episodes with the jaw-droppingly bad auditions that some have accused of being exploitative. He said: “I have been, yes, but not really for the musician value of it.

“In fact I watched the last episode of Extras the other day and Ricky Gervais’s speech at the end really made me feel upset for watching it, because I do always prefer the early stages to the end ones.”

Rob was interviewed for The Twilight Saga: new Moon STV Special, with our extended chat available here, plus there’s picture galleries and interviews with co-stars Taylor Lautner and Kristen Stewart.

When asked the same question as Taylor was – who wasn’t sure who’d win a stare-off between the pair – Rob was far more confident and said: “I’d win. I’m good at stare-offs, it’s one of my only talents.”

So does he have any bad habits? Rob admitted: “Oh, too many to mention. I don’t have any good habits!”

Oh, and he also had time to say hello to some very lucky STV visitors. you can thank us later ladies…
