Can anyone else totally imagine Si-Co practicing his Oscars speech in the shower? We dont do that at all.
First though, Simon, 59, may be a little busy with his ever-growing TV empire.
It was recently reported that X Factor and Britains Got Talent will remain on TV until at least 2022 thanks to Simon allegedly signing a new three-year deal with ITV.

The source continued: Whilst there may be some details in the paperwork still to be ironed out, from a fans point of view it is a three-year deal which means these much loved shows will remain on ITV for a long time to come.
