Simon Cowell’s son has him pegged

SIMON COWELL’S son stole the show when he gatecrashed the music mogul’s TV interview wielding a clothes peg.

Cowell, 58, was being interviewed by Loose Women in his Los Angeles home when Eric decided he wanted a slice of the action.

The four-year-old disappeared to fetch a wooden clothes peg, which he pinned on his father’s finger, making The X Factor and Britain’s Got Talent judge grimace in pain.

Asked by Loose Women panellist Ayda Field who he thinks is the best judge on his father’s TV shows, Eric replied loyally: ‘Daddy.’

But the hero-worship didn’t last long as, when Eric was asked who he thinks is the most handsome, the four-year-old put his hand to his own chest and replied: ‘Me!’

Cowell was interviewed to discuss his ongoing support for Together For Short Lives and Children’s Hospice Week, which starts today.

The campaign is encouraging people to share their special moments using the #LifesShort hashtag.

Loose Women airs weekdays at 12.30pm on ITV
