Simon Cowell has revealed that, like many people, the pandemic has made him reassess his priorities.
The music mogul, 62, believes that life is no longer all about work and he now puts son Eric and fiancée Lauren first.
Speaking to the Mirror, the Britain’s Got Talent head judge said: “I do think I have got the work/life balance right, particularly with Eric because he’s eight now.”
“The only good thing about the coronavirus was that during the lockdown we spent a lot of time together – and I love his company.”
Simon added that once lockdown ended he decided to do less work in order to continue spending more time with his son.
He also revealed that, although his work currently focusses on two shows – BGT and America’s Got Talent – he still misses The X Factor.
“I’m not going to lie, I would love to do The X Factor again,” he admitted.
“I do miss it. I also miss it because it did create a lot of stars. Sometimes when you’ve got something good, you can always refresh it. That is probably where my head is at right now.”
Simon’s comments come after his friend and Britain’s Got Talent colleague David Walliams admitted that he has still not received an invitation to Simon’s nuptials, scheduled for next month.
David told The Sun: I genuinely don’t know the date of the wedding. I certainly haven’t received an invite and I think people have read that as I’m not invited, but I don’t think anyone is yet.
That hasn’t stopped him dreaming up plans for a wild drag-themed stag do for Simon, though.
“I would organise it but I don’t think he will really want me to,” he said. “I don’t think our tastes would align on a stag night.”
“I would do something like a drag stag, where I say all guys have to go in drag, and I don’t think that is what Simon would actually like.”
Britain’s Got Talent continues weeknights at 8pm on ITV
