American socialist Lauren, 43, and Simon spoke to the Sun for the first time about the couple’s upcoming wedding. Speaking from the site of their Malibu mansion, the music mogul told the newspaper: “I felt like I was engaged for a long time, if I’m really honest with you. “The lock and Covid probably led to a lot of relationships. “We’ve been in the same house for over a year and I thought, ‘Well, actually, we’m doing very, very well.’ “And for Eric, as he grows up, he will be asked more and more about his parents and I thought it was the right thing to do for him. “Also, I could not see myself going out with anyone again. The idea of going on a first date now is very strange.

We like the same things, we laugh a lot, we always have things to say to each other. “Look, if it ‘s not damaged, do not fix it.

Cowell, who created the show, missed some of the auditions in February because he tested positive for the coronavirus. This came shortly after he fell off the steering wheel of his electric bicycle while not wearing a helmet, during a walk near his home in west London. The ITV show is usually shown from April to July, with the semifinals and final stages being broadcast live. Shooting difficulties in the midst of the pandemic have worsened as actors travel from all over the UK and sometimes from abroad to take part in the show. The latest series in 2020 saw the 2009 Diversity winners perform a Black Lives Matter-inspired routine in which a man in a police uniform knelt on Ashley Banjo, echoing the murder of unarmed black George Floyd. The routine, which has sparked more than 24,000 complaints at Ofcom, has won the moment you have to watch at the Bafta 2021 TV Awards, which are voted on by the public. Cowell was also replaced by Banjo on the jury for the final and semifinals of the final series as he recovers from a back injury. Britain’s Got Talent starts on April 16 at 20:00 and continues on April 17 at 19:35 on ITV and the ITV Hub.
