Simon Cowell has vowed to “slow down” and no longer work full time, friends have revealed.
The Britain’s Got Talent and former X Factor boss will still appear on his TV shows in the UK and America but wants to spend more of his life with son Eric and wife-to-be Lauren in the coming years.
One friend likened it to “edging into a kind of semi-retirement” with less work spread over a year and said he had “no appetite” to be hands-on and tinker with his TV shows anymore.
