Simon Cowell splashes out £30k on son Eric’s The Greatest Showman-themed birthday party
SIMON Cowell splashed out £30,000 on a The Greatest Showman-themed party for his son, Eric.
The music mogul, 59, hired London’s Mandarin Oriental Hotel for the star-studded bash on his son’s fifth birthday.
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.”
