Simon Cowell’s son Eric has inherited his hitmaker sensibilities.
So says Lucy Spraggan, who has been working with her former X Factor boss on a new LP featuring reworkings of songs from her career. Lucy said: “When I first started working with Simon I was like, ‘This guy can’t be that good at picking out songs’ and genuinely now I am like, ‘Sh*t he has a really good ear’.
“And not just that but Eric has helped with some of the songs which is just hilarious because he is nine. That kid will be anything he wants to be as he’s so smart, he is so intelligent.”

Having the Cowells on board for her new project – which includes a re-recording of Sober featuring Robbie Williams out now – has been a godsend. Lucy added: “For Simon to go through the files and say ‘This one’s good’ that is great to have somebody who has such knowledge of the music industry.

“And then to make the song bigger, better and sound more professional. He will be like, ‘More synths here’ and I just go, ‘Okay let’s do it!’”.
It comes after Simon’s fellow BGT judge Amanda Holden revealed that the music mogul is flexing some serious muscle backstage. Simon, who shares his son Eric with partner Lauren Silverman, is doing lots of push-ups to stay in shape.
She told The Sun: “He has been doing his press-ups backstage. Simon’s impressive, he’s got some guns. He’s doing it to compete with Bruno! Bruno’s got his pecs, but he does his press-ups in the privacy of his own home.
“I managed to video Simon doing it. I was like, ‘I’m not missing that. I’m putting that all over social media’. He’s embracing his sporty side this series. He’s been turning up in tracksuit bottoms and a compression top.

“But the compression top shows off his best bits. I think he’s quite proud of his pecs and his guns. Simon’s got the pecs factor.”
Simon confessed: “I just do tons of push-ups every day to keep fit. We are kind of hanging around a lot backstage, so if I’ve got ten minutes, I’ll just do a few push-ups.”
