Simon Cowell is back on his feet and walking around – giving relief to his close friends, with Sinitta sharing the news with an update.
The 60-year-old businessman suffered a horrific accident last month where he fell from an electric bicycle and broke his back – sparking fears he could be left paralysed.
He has been forced to bow out of work commitments on both Britain’s Got Talent and America’s Got Talent while he recovers at home in Los Angeles with his girlfriend Lauren Silverman and their six-year-old son, Eric.
Now 51-year-old friend Sinitta has given an update on Simon – revealing he is back on his feet and walking around, much to the relief of his friends and family.

She told Entertainment Daily: “It was a serious accident. So for people who love him, like me, it was very, very scary.
“He’s taken some steps, so he has reassured himself that he’s not paralysed.
“But he’s got to take his time and get well.”

Simon’s injuries have forced him to miss out on the semi-final and the planned live final of the 2020 series of Britain’s Got Talent.
Former BGT winner and Diversity hunk Ashley Banjo was drafted in to help fill the gap on the judging panel, taking a seat alongside regular judges Alesha Dixon, Amanda Holden and David Walliams.
Hopes that Simon would return for a Christmas special of the show have been dashed – with news breaking this week that his recovery plans will rule him out.

A source told The Sun: “Simon hoped he’d be well enough to fly from Los Angeles to the UK for the special show but he’s had to pull out.
“Plus the new lockdown measures — and him having to fly two weeks before the show so he could quarantine in advance — made it even more difficult for him to make the journey.
“Ashley stepped in for Simon during the pre-recorded semi-finals and was a hit with viewers so he was the first choice to step in again.”
