SIMON COWELL - COWELL'S EGO NOT AN ACT

A British TV presenter has branded SIMON COWELL self-obsessed, insisting his vanity is genuine and not an act for the TV cameras.
Stephen Mulhern - who presents Britain's Got More Talent, a spin-off of Cowell's Britain's Got Talent series - has laid bare his behind-the-scenes secrets, insisting the 48-year-old's conceit continues even after the cameras are switch off.
He says, "Simon's first port of call is his portable mirror that he takes with him all the time.
"He has his own make-up artist, Julia, who travels with him wherever he goes. No one else can get his orange tint right."
Mulhern also confirmed there is a "genuine animosity" between Cowell and costar Piers Morgan, saying, "I worry that it could come to fisticuffs."
