Cowell also revealed that fatherhood has changed him and he has become "softer".

He also that he would make a conscious effort to avoid his son becoming spoiled.

"“I’m aware Eric could become a brat.

“I’m going to make sure we teach him manners and to not talk down to people. I’m terrible at discipline but that’s all basic stuff.

“And the first thing I said to Lauren is we’ll teach him to always be kind to animals, he added.
