Media Magnate Simon Cowell’s sister-in-law says he could be a “groomzilla” when he marries fiancée Lauren Silverman.
Cowell, 62, and Silverman, 44, have been together since 2013 when it was confirmed she was pregnant with their first child, son Eric.
She filed for divorce from businessman husband Andrew Silverman shortly afterwards.
Cowell proposed on a family holiday in Barbados over Christmas and is due marry the American socialite in London in June.
He previously said he decided to propose after feeling like they were already engaged while living together during lockdown.
His sister-in-law Emma Cowell – who is married to his older half-brother Tony – revealed she is surprised that the day is happening at all and expected the Britain’s Got Talent judge to take charge of proceedings, the Sun reports.

Silverman has reportedly told friends that she has no desire to throw a lavish party.
Emma said: “Will he be a groomzilla? It’s hard to say. Simon has very clear likes and dislikes. He is used to calling the shots on TV and behind the scenes so I’m sure he applies that to all areas of his life, including his wedding.
“But Lauren will have equally strong ideas as it’s her big day too. It’s also important for Eric and Simon’s stepson Adam.
“I’m sure he’s got lots of ideas, plans, and maybe a few surprises for Lauren, but I imagine it will be a low-key, really special day for them.

“None of us thought this day would come! Simon was a bachelor who never wanted to get married, engaged or be a dad, but look at him now.”
She recalled when she first got introduced to the X Factor creator 15 years ago and he criticised the brownies she had made saying they needed buttercream, but she believes that would have made them a cake.
Emma also explained how Simon was seen as “Mr Nasty or Mr Mean” but he’s always been honest and told the truth.
She believes the birth of Eric has given her brother-in-law a new lease of life, with his priorities now changing, with his soon-to-be-wife and son coming “first above all else”.
