Instead, Squiddly, Diddly and Freddy enjoy “furs class” services on board a state-of-the-art Learjet.

They get their own fully reclining white leather seats, while lapping up Icelandic ­mineral water from porcelain dog bowls and foraging for organic, ­sugar-free choc drops.

As dad-of-one Simon, 59, knocks back his favourite Japanese beer, his beloved pets tuck into bespoke jumbones and play with a selection of squeaky toys.

The star travels between his ­London and Los Angeles homes with the pups, as well as an annual Caribbean jaunt.

Last night a source said: “The dogs are Simon’s children — and he treats them as such.

"He refuses to ditch the dogs in kennels at home, and won’t shove them in a Boeing 747 hold where they would be ­terrified and alone.

BIG-hearted Simon Cowell has donated £50,000 to help a boy of four get leukaemia treatment in the US.

The X Factor judge was touched by the plight of Zac Oliver, who has a rare form of the disease which cannot be treated on the NHS.

Zac’s family needs to raise £500,000 to take him to a hospital in Philadelphia.
His mum, Hannah Oliver-Willets, 33, of Broseley, Shropshire, has now raised £400,000. Simon, 59, said: “Whatever you can donate will make a difference. We’re going to get there.”
