When Simon Cowell became dad to son Eric last year, it became clear that his world now revolves around his new family.
Prior to the first Britain’s Got Talent auditions of 2015, Simon has revealed that his love of animals has even rubbed off on his 13-month-old baby boy.
In fact, Eric not only loves dogs too, he thinks he IS a dog!
Growing up around Simon’s pooches Squiddly and Diddly has certainly made an impression.
He explains: ''He's walking now - and he walks like the Duracell Bunny. Part of him also thinks he's still a dog, because he's grown up around the dogs.''
Speaking to the Mail Online, he gushed about his young son, adding: ''Because I work late, Eric knows that if he cries in the middle of the night, the chances are I'll be awake. He's worked out I'll go to him.
"It's lovely, actually. In the past every time I saw babies they were crying, but when you spend a bit more time with them you see them settling down, their little characters developing. They start to take on a bit of your personality.''
Simon is a judge on this year’s series if Britain’s Got Talent, scheduled to hit our screens this spring.
