Sinitta brands Simon Cowell an 'idiot' for riding jet ski after breaking back

Sinitta has branded her ex-boyfriend Simon Cowell an "idiot" after she found him riding a jet ski following his back operation.

The 52-year-old So Macho singer was speaking to Susanna Reid and Adil Ray on Good Morning Britain on Tuesday morning, when she shared her disbelief that she found The X Factor supremo hitting the waves, despite breaking his back just months previously.

The singer said that she saw Simon a few months ago but was not impressed with what he was doing.

Sinitta said: "I saw him at Christmas because as soon as lockdown lifted I flew out there.

"I would have gone as soon as he had the accident but I couldn't.

"And I couldn't believe it, the first thing I see is the idiot, okay, I am calling him an idiot but I don't mean it that way."

Sinitta continued: "The idiot on a jet ski"

Adil Ray asked: "What did you call him?"

Sinitta replied: "An idiot, because he was on a jet ski and my mother and I were like, if you had yourself on a jet ski and you hit a wave... should you really be on a jet ski?

"He was like, 'I know darling, I'm fine, I'm fine,' and I was like, 'just stop, we have all been so worried and you are on a jet ski'.

"That's how fine he is, back to normal."

Sinitta also revealed that Simon is working on a revamped version of The X Factor and she is hoping there will be a role for her on the show.

She said: "I’m not sure if it’s going to be this year or next year, but [Simon Cowell is] working on a revamped X Factor, yes.

"Which I’m very excited about, it needs a little bit of a revamp, right?"

Adil then asked Sinitta whether she would be taking part in the the new series, after joining Simon at the Judge's houses stage previously.

She replied: "Well that’s the big question, isn’t it. Am I going to be a judge, am I going to be on it, I’ll start pestering him now and see what happens."
