I’m quoted in the Daily Star today about Simon Cowell. Or should I say Lord Cowell?

Simon Cowell is being courted for a move into politics by Gordon Brown and David Cameron.

Both believe The X Factor supremo would make British politics more popular with young voters in the wake of the expenses scandal. And the reward could be a peerage as Simon, 50, becomes Lord Cowell.

Chas Newkey-Burden, author of Simon Cowell: The Unauthorised Biography, said last night: “Simon Cowell is a rare combination. He’s incredibly rich and comes from a posh background but has the common touch.

“He can push so many different buttons and this makes him a red hot prospect for politicians.They would run over each other to get to his side. The public is so cheesed off with politics at the moment and an endorsement from him could just swing it for one of the parties.”

The rest of the story is here.
