Shirtless Simon Cowell enjoys sun-kissed break after revealing 'desire to be vegan'

Simon Cowell has revealed he has gone 'vegan' ahead of his 60th birthday later this year.

The X Factor and Britain's Got Talent supremo has kicked meat, dairy, wheat and sugar into touch as he follows a plant-based diet.

This will be a huge departure from his love of comfort food, with the likes of jam tarts, hamburgers and spaghetti Bolognese all featuring heavily.

From the looks of snaps of Cowell on a sunshine break in Mexico, he is thriving on the diet as he soaks up the rays.
