Simon Cowell: I’ll be a great dad (but no nappies, thank you)

Family man: Simon Cowell is having his first child with Lauren Silverman

 

X Factor mogul Simon Cowell has said that he will be a great father — but he won’t change dirty nappies.

The 53-year-old is expecting his first child with New York socialite Lauren Silverman, 36.
Asked whether he was looking forward to becoming a parent, he told BBC Breakfast: “I am good with kids because I like kids. I listen to them.

“Once I got used to it [becoming a father] I did get excited. I think I will be a good dad.” But as for dirty nappies, he said: “I’m not doing that, 100 per cent absolutely not going near that.”

Warned by Harry Hill, who has written The X Factor musical, that he would feel exhausted from sleepless nights, he replied: “Can’t I just get a nanny?”
