Simon Cowell says George Clooney’s recent wedding makes him the world’s most eligible bachelor.
The X-Factor supremo said there was a chance he could marry girlfriend Lauren Silverman, the mother of his son Eric, but admitted he was “not exactly a hands-on dad”.
He told Hello! Magazine: “I’m the only iconic bachelor left in the entire world − thanks for that George Clooney.
“I think it’s a title I’ll keep for a while longer if I’m honest. I’ve never said no to marriage but then again I couldn’t imagine having a kid at one point and now look at me. I guess I was always nervous I may not end up getting on particularly well with the person I was going to have a kid with and I didn’t want to make the wrong decision.
“The fact that our baby wasn’t planned was actually the best thing for us to have done and we’re very happy now.”
