District3 say Simon Cowell will be a "great dad".
The boy band - Dan Ferrari-Lane, Micky Parsons and Greg West - found fame on Simon's talent show 'The X Factor' last year and they are confident the music mogul, who is expecting his first child with Lauren Silverman, will take to fatherhood with aplomb.
Greg exclusively told BANG Showbiz's Cara Mason: "He's going to be a great dad. He is going to be daddy of the year."
Dan, 20, added: "I cannot wait to meet little mini Simon."
District3 - who were mentored by Louis Walsh and were sent home in the sixth week of 'X Factor' - have even offered their services as godparents to 53-year-old Simon's tot when the baby is born.
Greg joked: "I would take the role! I can't say I can offer him as much as his dad can but I'd accept the job of godfather."
The cheeky boys - whose debut EP is out now - accept they have no chance of being godparents but are predicting Simon's ex-girlfriend and close pal Sinitta will be made godmother
Dan said: "I reckon Sinitta will get the gig ... Louis Walsh needs to be part of it though."
District3 are hoping to create success beyond X-factor with the release of their six-track EP, which reached number 8 on the UK pre-order chart, and will be available on August 18.
