Whatever he has he offers it to me," he said of his one-and-a-half-year-old kid. "I remember going to the first scan with Lauren (Silverman). I called him Tad then because he looked like a tadpole. Something just kicked in. I felt unbelievably protective of both of them.

I just absolutely wanted him. I just hadn't known that before," Cowell said. The 56-year-old also opened up about the recent death of his mother, Julie, saying he refused to accept she was dying.

"I wouldn't listen. I kept saying right to the end that there was hope. And I wasn't prepared for it. You know it all happened in my 50s. I have a son and then I lose my mother. It changes you. I'm still going through it," he said.
