Simon's girlfriend Lauren gave birth to their cute offspring in February 2014 and Sinitta, who also used to date TV's Mr Nasty, said: "Eric is so perfect. I think it's all perfect how it is."

The mum-of-two added the showbiz couple were more than content with just Eric to look after though added : "But if more children came it would also be amazing. My children absolutely love playing with him and they all play well together.

"He's an amazing swimmer. He can swim underwater and he can dive down deep and retrieve things from the bottom of the pool. It's really extraordinary for a child his age."

Talking of Eric's budding talents in the pool, she told The Star: "He hates having an actual structured swimming lesson from a coach because he hates being told what to do which is very similar to his dad.

"He's an amazing swimmer. He can swim underwater and he can dive down deep and retrieve things from the bottom of the pool. It's really extraordinary for a child his age."

As well as showing he has a mind of his own, raven-haired Eric has also been learning the reigns of his doting dad's media and screen empire at an early age.

Proud parent Simon last week took his look-a-like son to work with him at the auditions for America's Got Talent.

Sweet snaps showed the reality TV judge playing with a Mr Potato Head toy before Simon gave the toddler some raisins as a treat.

Simon’s fellow judge Heidi Klum later joined them and said to Eric: “I love saying yes to people on the stage but sometimes you just have to say no, right?”

Proving he's his father's son, Eric replied: "Not to daddy!" leaving both Klum and Cowell laughing.

Simon, 56, said: "That's good" and later gave his mini-me a big cuddle."

He recently admitted Eric is already a good "critic" and he likes having him at the 'America's Got Talent' auditions.
He said: "I've got to tell you, he's going to be my little right-hand man - anything he likes I like.
"He's brilliant, he comes down to the auditions and really enjoys the acts. He's very good to watch, funnily enough, because I can see when he's bored and when he's up dancing. He's a good critic already. He's unpaid, but he's helping me!"
