However while visiting the Chelsea Flower Show with pal and Britain’s Got Talent judge Bruno Tonioli, 69, she said he was a regular visitor to the family home and is known as ‘Uncle Bruno’ to son Eric. 

While the dancer told the publication: ‘There’s a little group who get together. It’s good to keep what you do in your private life separate. Nobody knows what’s going on and I like it that way’. 

Simon and his family moved to the country following a spate of break-ins at their now-sold £45million former home in Holland Park, west London.

And in January MailOnline exclusively he was bidding to extend his the home with a mᴀssive new ‘party barn’ for entertaining his A-list friends and family.

The new extension is described as ‘minor in scale’ by Cowell’s building agents though it covers 793sq ft, roughly the size of an average new build house in the UK.

Their stunning new eight-acre country estate is perched grandly on a hilltop overlooking a picture-perfect village frequented by celebrities and royals alike.

The grounds already feature a wild swimming pond and an indoor pool, but the new plans suggest he is keen to have a new large dedicated socialising space.

It would also double as a games room for the couple’s boys Eric and 18-year-old Adam who is Lauren’s child from a previous relationship, and for them to have friends over too

Despite having spent £500,000 on security to safeguard his London home, Simon was subject to repeat intrusions while living in Holland Park.

In 2023, it was alleged that a criminal gang had even sold the exact lock to his front door.

Back in 2015, thieves broke into the property in the early hours of the morning and stole jewellery worth up to £1million and two pᴀssports from an open safe.

Simon and Lauren were asleep in their beds as was their son Eric, who was a baby at the time.

X Factor star later said of the incident: ‘One hundred per cent I’d like to meet the guy.

‘If we found him I’d want to have a conversation with him. I don’t want to say too much right now because I am angry.

‘As a dad you have to realise the psychological damage it does having someone you don’t know in your home 3ft away from your little boy.’

He also said he was disappointed that his three dogs did not raise any alarms when the invasion happened, adding: ‘They didn’t make a sound. They’re usually always barking but they chose not to at that time. Now I have dogs that bark.’

Simon also experienced a scary encounter at his Holland Park residence in 2012, when a woman wielding a brick broke into the property while the TV personality was at home watching television.

MailOnline contacted Simon Cowell’s representatives. There was no comment.
