Simon Cowell - Simon Cowell Cruising With Exes

Simon Cowell has treated his warring ex-girlfriends to a cruise holiday.

The music mogul and his fiancee Mezhgan Hussainy have whisked off Simon's former flames Sinitta and Jackie St Claire - who recently fell out in a very public online spat - on the £280,000 ocean trip in the hope the pair would patch things up.

An insider explained: "Simon dearly loves both Jackie and Sinitta but was fed up with their petty, schoolgirl arguments. He reckoned enough was enough and decided to put them together in a confined space. It was a case of sink or swim and they had no choice but to talk. Luckily, it's all gone to plan.

"They had a long chat and are friends again. They've been laughing, giggling. and plotting against Simon. He almost wishes he hadn't bothered."

Simon, 50, and his make-up artist fiancee also treated other friends - including hypnotist Paul McKenna - to the lavish two-week trip around Corsica, which the insider said quickly turned into a "love boat".

The source added to the Daily Mirror newspaper: "What started off as a loathe boat is now a love boat. It's all going swimmingly and the whole group is having a great time.

"Sinitta and Jackie seem to have patched things up. Hopefully it will all be plane sailing from now on."

Just three weeks ago '80s pop star Sinitta - who dated Simon for three years - launched into a scathing attack of former Miss UK, Jackie.

She wrote on twitter: "Jackie St Claire, you are the source of all lies and wrong info. I'm sorry after 25 years you still won't stop harassing and bullying."
