Talent show icon Simon Cowell has admitted his concerns for son Eric as the coronavirus crisis rages on.
The Britain's Got Talent judge, 60, is keen to take precautions for his six-year-old son Eric.
Speaking to The Sun's Dan Wootton on his talkRADIO show, Simon discussed his concerns over the killer virus.
"I am terrified about it. I have worn masks for ages. When I cycle around town I wear a mask," he confessed.
Simon also revealed that he and son Eric will "100 per cent be wearing masks" and have "loads of hand sanitizer" when they visit Disneyland Paris next weekend.
Discussing his fears, Simon continued: "I wouldn't want to be on a cruise ship right now. Those people stuck on that cruise ship.
"Why they haven’t taken them off and put them in a proper hospital is unbelievable.
"That’s somewhere I wouldn't go."
Simon recently praised This Morning presenter Phillip Schofield for his decision to publicly come out as gay.
"I think it is a very positive thing. You've seen the support he has gotten because nobody actually cares about sexuality anymore," he said.
The X Factor judge also slammed the way he himself used to be questioned on his sexuality.
He explained: "It makes me laugh because 20 years ago I would be doing interviews and the first question would be 'are you gay?', and I would say no but they would continue and say 'yes you are'.
"And I'd go, 'do you honestly think it would be a problem if I was, and that I would hide it?"
Meanwhile, it has also been revealed that The X Factor is set to go on a temporary hiatus due to a desire to "rest" the show.
An ITV production source told Mirror Online: "Simon has decided to rest The X Factor this year. He and the producers want to take a breath to really think through the show and revitalise it for the future.
