Simon Cowell’s son Eric causes chaos as he interrupts Loose Women interview

He definitely stole the show!

Simon Cowell’s son Eric stole the show during his dad’s interview on Monday’s Loose Women.

Eric may only be four years old, but he still managed to upstage his dad by climbing over him and attempting to stick clothes pegs on Simon’s nose.

In the pre-recorded interview, the music mogul was talking to panellist Ayda Field in his LA home about his support for Together For Short Lives and Children’s Hospice Week.

As the chat began, Simon asked his little boy: “Do you want to do this interview with me or not?”

“I’ll do it with you,” Eric sweetly replied.

Simon said: “What’s daddy been drinking today?” to which Eric said: “Annoying juice.”

As Ayda asked Simon to talk about how he started to get involved with Together For Short Lives, Eric put his hand up Simon’s jumper in an attempt to tickle him.

Bursting into laughter, Simon said: “I can’t do this with him, he’s got his hand up my sweater! I’m trying to be serious here and you’re tickling me.”

“I am annoying,” Eric replied.

Eric then went off to play behind-the-scenes, but it wasn’t long before her came back to annoy his dad.

Jumping onto Simon’s lap, Eric tried to put clothes pegs on his dad’s nose and finger.

Ayda tried to distract Eric by asking him about his dad’s show Britain’s Got Talent.

She asked him who the most handsome judge on the show is, to which Eric sweetly responded: “Me!”

Ayda then asked: “If your daddy was on the show, would you put him through or buzz him?”

“I’ll buzz him,” Eric cheekily replied.

Ayda asked the X Factor boss: “What would you say to Eric if he wanted to be in the industry?”

“I would say 100 percent but stay my side of the desk,” he said. “I don’t want him on the other side of the desk.

“He’s got good taste, I think he’s going to be good.”

Eric wasn’t the only person to gatecrash Simon’s interview.

Ayda’s husband Robbie Williams also made an appearance and pretended to be a butler bringing the presenter coffee.

Meanwhile in the chat, Simon opened up about his health scare last year.

“I called it a wake-up call because sometimes your body tells you when you’re working too hard,” he explained.

“For me it was the late nights. It’s so unhealthy. It wasn’t a big deal that happened, but I did fall down some stairs which was a bit embarrassing.”

He added: “In a strange way, I’m glad it happened.”
