Just before the coronavirus pandemic shook the UK, Simon Cowell opened up about his fears for his young son Eric, six, in a new interview about his family life.
The X Factor judge spoke on talkRADIO in February, and revealed that he was "terrified" that he and Eric would contract coronavirus, and that he was doing everything he could to protect them. "I am terrified about it.
I have worn masks for ages, when I cycle around town, I wear a mask," he said. "But I am taking Eric to Disneyland Paris next weekend and I'm almost certain when we're on the train we will 100 per cent be wearing masks." Simon added that on the trip he would also make sure that he has "loads of hand sanitiser" packed.
