HE'S GOT TALENT!

SVELTE SIMON DROPS 10KG

- 

In the personality stakes there is no denying that The X-Factor’s head judge Simon Cowell is larger than life – but thanks to his new diet he’s now smaller than ever!

The 60-year-old music mogul stopped to sign autographs outside a London radio station last week and fans couldn’t help but notice his drastic change in body shape.

The star, nicknamed Judge Dread by X-Factor fans, has lost upwards of 10kg since switching to a vegan diet, with Simon confessing he did it partly to keep up with his five-year-old son Eric, whom he shares with partner Lauren Silverman (42).

“I realised if I didn’t sort myself out physically I wouldn’t be able to catch up with him,” he explains. “Because from the minute he gets up to the minute he goes to sleep… their energy, you forget, at five years old, is phenomenal.”
