Cowell: likes to keep it clean and clutter-free

X Factor mogul Simon Cowell has confessed that he is "obsessed" with maintaining perfect hygiene and revealed his personal cleanliness rituals.

In a new interview with People magazine he admits: "I'm obsessed with cleanliness for myself, so I will take a bath three times a day, sometimes a steam twice a day in addition to that. And the same thing in the house.”

And that’s not the end of his obsessive bahaviour. "I don't like clutter,” he insists. “That's why I think I'd find it difficult to have kids.

"Your house, I think, defines your mind. If you come into something which is chaotic, it means your head is chaotic, and I can't work that way."

The 51-year-old adds that he finds personal fitness just as important as maintaining a clean house and body.

"I'll do 500 push-ups in a day religiously, and if I can I like to have a workout. Then I have a steam and a bath but I always have breakfast in bed," Cowell said.
