Sinitta reveals she told Simon Cowell he was ‘too fabulous to let himself go’ and needed to ‘address’ his health before he showed off recent 20lbs weight loss
Sinitta has revealed she told Simon Cowell he needed to ‘address’ his health before he recently showed off his 20lbs weight loss at the America’s Got Talent quarter finals last week.
The TV judge, 59, turned heads with his slimmed down appearance which Sinitta claimed was due to a conversation they had where she told him he was ‘too fabulous to let himself go’.
The singer, 50, appeared in a pre-recorded clip on Lorraine on Monday where she discussed the conversation she had with Simon about his health.

Speaking from her bed, Sinitta said: ‘You’re too handsome, you’re too fabulous to let yourself go. I put my arms around him, we were hugging.
‘I grabbed him a bit around the love handles and said, I just want you to be happy and I just want you to look good. You need to address this.’
Simon’s new look comes after he spoke candidly about changing his lifestyle and diet after he was hospitalised in October 2017 after fainting as a result of low blood pressure.
Speaking to Extra TV in June Simon said: ‘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’.’

The X Factor boss admitted that his first thought following the advice was ‘What about alcohol?’
He continued: ‘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.’
Simon, who now lives a much healthier lifestyle with his partner Lauren Silverman, 42, and their five-year-old son Eric, and has also joked that he and his little boy follow the same vegan diet.

‘Apart from ice-cream, he actually likes water, eats all his raw vegetable. I’m on the Eric Cowell diet,’ he said.
Simon is having a busy summer jetting back and forth between the US and UK for work.
While he wraps up the current series of AGT, he’s also presiding over Britain’s Got Talent: The Champions which will see former winners and finalists compete against each other.
The show will air in the autumn, with Simon and his team busy filming the auditions in recent weeks.
