Cheryl Tweedy, 35, Alesha Dixon, 40, and Katie Piper, 35 were among stars who brought their kids to the party in Knightsbridge on Saturday.

Celeb couple Rochelle, 29, and Marvin Humes, 33, also attended.

A party insider said: “Simon spared no expense in making sure it was the perfect occasion for little Eric. The kids got to sing their favourite songs from the film and the whole place was decked out just like the circus.

“Everyone was joking that Simon was like Hugh Jackman’s character because he was the ringmaster.

“Loads of celebrities were invited with their families and Eric’s own friends came, too.”

Simon and girlfriend Lauren Silverman, 41, played host at the five-star hotel where rooms can cost more than £10,000.

The Hugh Jackman musical was one of the most popular films of 2018 while the soundtrack was the best-selling album of the year, shifting more than 1.6million copies.

In 2015, The Sun told how Simon forked out £2,000 on a room at the hotel to have a bath after his boiler broke down at home.
