Amanda shared the photo to Instagram on Wednesday, alongside the caption: “Our fifth judge in the making! @bgt #onlyasmallchairneeded.”

Fans loved the sweet picture, with many gushing over Eric.

One person said: “Eric! He is such a mini Simon!!” while another wrote: “Cutest picture ever.”

A third added: “Omg my heart is melting this is so cute.”

It comes after music mogul Simon said he wants his son Eric to start working for him at the age of ten.

The 59-year-old revealed “if he could”, he would pull his son – who he has with partner Lauren Silverman – out of school in just five years time, and employ him at his record label Syco.

In an interview with NBC he said: “Listen, if I can get him out at 10 to come and work for me then I would.”

The Britain’s Got Talent judge – who left school at the age of 16 – also went on to reveal that he thinks homework should be banned as a “happy kid” is more important than an “over-educated, stressed kid”.

He added: “I was better off out of school than I was in. But I didn’t have that major stress about homework, because I would just throw it away. A healthy, happy kid is more important than an over-educated, stressed kid.”
