Love him or loathe him, Simon Cowell is arguably the most influential player in the British entertainment industry and one of Britains most successful exports. After a humble start in the post room at EMI, his meteoric rise began when he became a top A&R executive, signing huge acts from Westlife and Five to Robson & Jerome. Fame and a television career followed when he became a judge in the TV talent shows <i>Pop Idol</i> and <i>American Idol</i> and subsequently created the hit shows <i>The X Factor </i>and <i>Britains Got Talent</i>, watched by millions every year. His trademark blunt honesty coupled with his extraordinary business savvy has made him a household name – but what do we really know about this charismatic and sharp-tongued man? In Simon Cowell Chas Newkey-Burden finds out, interviewing friends and old colleagues, and lifting the lid on the professional and private life of one of Britains most eligible batchelors.
