Simon Cowell admits to spending £3,000,000 on 'dancing vaginas party'

He also spent a large sum just to take a bath in a luxury hotel

Simon Cowell might be best known as a celebrity judge on TV but now it seems as if people are judging him for his bizarre confession.

The 66-year-old has given us plenty of memorable moments over the years when coming face-to-face with some of Britain's best and worst talent, whether it's bringing together One Direction or laughing uncontrollably at those two blokes who sang 'Mysterious Girl' together on X Factor.

Although the younger generations might consider some of his comments as 'rude', the TV personality has a brand to uphold and that sometimes means that he can't mince his words, even if the contestant might get a little upset.

Unsurprisingly, his regular TV slots combined with signing some of the biggest names in the music industry has seen Cowell do pretty well for himself when it comes to money, even if he's not always spent it in the most sensible of ways.

During a recent guest appearance on the Tales from the Celebrity Trenches podcast, Holy Moly founder Jamie East asked the record executive about the rumours that he'd spent millions on an X-rated birthday party which included 'dancing vaginas'.

Cowell replied: “Absolutely correct. By the way. I didn’t know it was going to cost that much, I really didn’t.

“I got the bill, I think I’m still paying for it now. I honestly couldn’t believe it. I thought 'what, I didn't agree to that'.

It later emerged that it was Cowell's 50th birthday bash where he wanted the unusual dancing arrangement, which is either a little creepy or a refreshing appreciation of the female form.

He added: “I wish I could remember it. I honestly can’t. I remember taking, I think, half a Xanax before that because I was so anxious. I really can't remember much other than that bit where the act came on and my mum was sitting next to me with her vicar! She's like 'what's that', and I replied 'I think it's a mouth but wrong way round'. Who ordered that?"

It's not the only lavish way in which he's splashed his cash however, as he also admitted to spending around £2k just for the chance to have a bath after his broke, as he checked himself into luxury hotel London Mandarin Oriental purely to test the waters - literally.

“I might have done that. Do you know, what I p***ed away so much money in hindsight. I do think about that, because my God, two grand on a bath?” Simon said.

He added: “I’m a bit more cautious now, I think because I didn’t have a lot of money to start with.

“So when I started to make a lot of money, I’m like, ‘wow, this is fantastic’.

“And now I’m like, ‘God, why did I spend all that money?’ You know, all those lists, I’m not worth anywhere near that.”

It seems as if Cowell has settled down in recent years with his long-term partner Lauren Silverman, who he also shares his 10-year-old son Eric with.

Hopefully Eric doesn't demand anything similar for his birthday party when he turns 21.
