Simon Cowell - Simon Cowell 'Will Live Until He's 92'

The X Factor boss underwent a Dna genome sequencing test last year (11), costing a massive $240,000 (£150,000), so he could learn of any potential future weaknesses or health issues.

The test also predicts when you might die as a result of natural causes - and 52-year-old Cowell was ecstatic when he received his results.

He tells Britain's Daily Mail newspaper, "My test said I am going to live until I'm 92. My tests were some of the best they had ever seen. No stress. I am a great believer that many illnesses come through stress.

"It was the result I wanted. I have no stress or little stress, even in this business. I sleep well. I am very peaceful, not agitated."

And reality TV mogul Cowell admits he took the test because he fears illness and old age.

He adds, "(I'm) petrified of it. In 10 years, I have only missed two days of filming."
