Simon has shed more than 20Ibs in weight thanks to a fastidious vegan diet, which he changed in order to keep up with Eric.

He told The Ellen DeGeneres Show: ‘I went to see this doctor in London. We did some tests. And then a month later he said, “You have the worst diet I’ve ever met from any patient.”‘

Simon then added: ‘It’s like the Eric diet because he actually, apart from ice cream, he actually likes water. I mean, who likes water? And his raw vegetables. So I’m on like, the Eric Cowell diet.’

The TV judge’s new physique has impressed his celebrity pals, with his close friend and fellow Britain’s Got Talent judge David Walliams joking the star has become a ‘skinny b***h’.

Meanwhile, Simon also spoke about cutting down on alcohol earlier this year, he told Extra: ‘I went to see this guy who’s very well-known. And he said to me, after doing some blood work, “You can’t have red meat, dairy, sugar, bread or gluten.”

‘I’m thinking, “What about alcohol?” And he said, “Maybe not quite as much as you had before.” And I did it and I stuck to it and it’s easy.’
