Ooh…

Simon first appeared on TV in 1990 when he took part in the quiz show Sale of the Century, and won a set of kitchen utensils. Woo hoo.

Gasp!

Monsieur Cowell is estimated to be worth around £120 million. So that's how he pays for those teeth.

Grrr!

Simon was responsible for singles by Zig and Zag, the Teletubbies and Robson and Jerome. Thanks for that, Si.

Phwoar!

No one loves Simon more than the man himself. When asked what he would take to a desert island he replied, 'A mirror. It's true. I'd miss me.'

Back in 2004 Simon agreed to give X Factor contestant Paul Holt £50,000 if he scored a Christmas number one. His effort, 50 Grand For Christmas, peaked at... number 35. Waa waa waaaaaaaaaa.
