Simon Cowell is reportedly making a fast and remarkable recovery from surgery after he was left nearly paralysed.
The X Factor and Britain’s Got Talent judge, 60, is allegedly already taking his first steps after he underwent surgery recently for his broken back.
It comes after he fell off an electric bike at his home in Malibu, with doctors saying he nearly severed his spinal cord which could have paralysed him for life.
Following a gruelling six hour operation, the star is said to be in “good spirits” despite the horrors of the last few days.
Simon has even began working from his hospital bed, according to sources.

Speaking to PEOPLE, a source said that Simon is tackling his workload just days after a metal rod was put into his back, after he fell from his £15,000 electric bike.
The source has claimed that the BGT star is already making a recovery.
They said: “He’s on his feet and walking around again as much as he can.
“He’s taking it easy but doing well.”
The source added: “Simon is already back at work and he’s been working on email on his iPad and speaking to a few on his team.”

They continued: “He’s definitely not letting this slow down all the things he’s got going on.”
Simon addressed his injuries in a couple of his latest tweets from his official account.
He tweeted: “If you buy an electric trail bike, read the manual before you ride it for the first time. I have broken part of my back.”
He added in another tweet some praise for those who are looking after him: “And a massive thank you to all the nurses and doctors. Some of the nicest people I have ever met.”

When the accident occurred Simon was with his girlfriend Lauren Silverman and his six-year-old son Eric and Lauren’s 14-year-old son Adam.
The source added: “Lauren was able to drop some things he needed off to him briefly today but obviously because of Covid-19 and ensuring everyone there is safe, he isn’t having any visitors.
“He knows how lucky he was with what happened.”
