Singer Sinitta, 45, gushed about the new dad, and revealed that Simon already wants another baby.
Speaking on This Morning, she said: “Lauren said she wants two more children – [Simon] wants a little girls next so we shall she. It’s nice to have two.”

Mum-of-two Sinitta, who is godmother to little Eric, also described how Simon is as a dad.
Anyone imagining him to be his usual Mr Nasty self would be mistaken, as Sinitta continued: “Eric has blue eyes, dark hair – amazing. Simon is very tender [with him], he’s fascinated, he literally holds him and stares at him and sticks his tongue out and Eric will imitate him back. I’m fascinated watching him with Eric.”
Simon, 54, once claimed that fatherhood would not change him in the slightest, and that his life would continue as normal. But Sinitta said, despite this, he has changed.
“I won’t say he’s mellowed,” she said. “Because he is still naughty and crazy, but he’s just very open, very tender. I’d always known that side of Simon anyway, but everybody else is getting to see that now.
“He’ll say soppy things and then apologise and say, ‘that was a bit soppy’ and then go ‘oh, who cares’. It’s really sweet.”
Simon Cowell? Being soppy? We can’t imagine it!
