Simon Cowell has revealed that he's dishing out parenting advice to One Direction's Louis Tomlinson, who is expecting his first child with stylist Briana Jungwirth.
The X Factor mogul, who recently welcomed his first baby, said he's been sharing his newfound wisdom with the 23-year-old star.
He said on Good Morning Britain: "I just said enjoy it. If I had been his age and someone had said you're going to have a baby, I'm not sure how I would have coped with it. But he did call me and I said, 'When you've embraced it you'll be amazed how much you are going to love it and it will change your life for the better. And that's it'."
Cowell's partner Lauren Silverman gave birth to their son Eric 20 months ago, and he admitted that he initially thought the baby "hated" him.
He explained: "When he was about five or six [-months-old] I was like.... 'I just don't know what to do!' Because he wasn't reacting to me and I thought maybe he hates me."
Cowell continued: "And they said, 'No, take your time because once he gets a bit older...' And then suddenly one day they are talking, listening, responding, communicating, whole different ball game, and also they sort of become a bit like you, which I don't know is a good thing or a bad thing!"
