Simon Cowell has donated his £1 million Marks & Spencer pay cheque to a children's charity. The 60-year-old star appears in a new ad campaign - which sees him judging sausages and fruit alongside fellow panellists Amanda Holden and David Walliams - being aired on ITV during 'Britain's Got Talent', and he asked the retailer to waive his fee and instead pledge their support to Together For Short Lives.

A source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "Simon was delighted when they agreed. It's wonderful news for the charity." The organisation - which supports children with life-limiting illness and counts Simon amongst its patrons - is expected to lose at least half of its annual income due to the coronavirus pandemic.
