Simon said: “It’s been a unique partnership and Sony have always backed and supported me to create television formats.

“The shows we created have found so many amazing artists over the years and so many of the various Sony labels all over the world have enabled so many of those artists to fulfil their dreams.
“We have all shared some incredible achievements, and importantly we have had lots of fun. I won’t say this was an easy decision to make. However, sometimes you have to personally support something you are so passionate about.
