Simon Cowell will become 'groomzilla' ahead of London wedding says his sister-in-law

Simon Cowell 's sister-in-law says that the music mogul may well turn into a 'groomzilla' as he gets set to marry his fiancé Lauren Silverman.

The Britain's Got Talent chief, 62, and his American socialite fiancé, 44, will wed in London next month and plans are well under way for the couple's special day.

Simon's sister-in-law Emma Cowell, who is married to his 70-year-old brother Tony, is counting on Simon taking charge of the preparations for the day and has confessed he may well be a 'groomzilla' if he gets the chance.

Emma told the The Sun : "Will he be a groomzilla? It's hard to say. Simon has very clear likes and dislikes.

"He is used to calling the shots on TV and behind the scenes so I'm sure he applies that to all areas of his life, including his wedding."

Simon has been the chief of Saturday night talent show entertainment for over two decades and his no-nonsense judging on Pop Idol, X-Factor and Britain's Got Talent may well be a vital asset in making decisions ahead of the wedding.

Simon popped the question to his long-term girlfriend Lauren Silverman in Barbados on Christmas Eve last year and the couple share a son, Eric, who was born in 2014.

Emma added: "None of us thought this day would come. Simon was a bachelor who never wanted to get married, engaged or be a dad, but look at him now. Since Eric was born, his priorities have completely changed.

"It wasn't something he ever expected or planned but it blew his world apart in the best way possible.

"While work is important to him, Eric and Lauren come first above all else."

Simon revealed to The Sun: “I am planning it all, otherwise I know what will happen - there will be 600 people and it'll get out of control, like my 50th birthday party.

“No one knows when it's going to be - that'll be a surprise, even for Lauren,” he joked.

The pair's nuptials are expected to take place next month and the guest list is expected to include Simon's fellow BGT judges Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and David Walliams as well as presenting legends Ant and Dec.
