Simon Cowell has recalled how he was "really unhappy" before his son was born eight years ago.
Before the arrival of Eric, the music mogul and TV personality behind Britain's Got Talen and The X-Factor said he was "obsessed" with work and admitted to being a workaholic. It got to the point where Simon felt like his life was '99 per cent work' and he eventually stopped enjoying his career, he told the Sun.
“I was obsessed with beating the competition," he said. "I took it to a ridiculous level and I would get really down about that stuff, to the point I was depressed.”
