Sinitta’s godmother to Cowell’s new baby Eric

SINITTA has confirmed she will be godmother to Simon Cowell’s newborn son
Eric.

The So Macho singer, 49 — who has known Simon since the 80s and was
his on-off girlfriend for 20 years — revealed the news late last
night.

After The Sun broke news of Simon’s girlfriend Lauren’s labour, Sinitta
merrily tweeted: “Sitting in. Fancu bar in london with a very handsome
man waitinf to hear my God son has been born, bit tipsy,but not ruined..too
late to fly.”

She alluded to the fact that she would have liked to flown out to New York for
the birth of Eric — named after Simon’s late father — but
had left it “too late”.

She told fans that Simon and his team were keeping her informed — and
that had she been there she would have live-streamed the birth online to
keep fans updated.

X Factor guru Si got to a New York hospital just in time to see girlfriend
Lauren Silverman have his first child — weighing in at 6lbs 7oz.

The talent show boss made a mad dash from London for the birth at 10.45pm UK
time and spoke of his relief as he arrived just in time to see his son born.

The panicked star, 54, dashed to catch a flight to New York to be by lover
Lauren’s side.

Fearing he would miss the birth, the Britain’s Got Talent judge dropped work
at his West London home to catch the first flight out of Heathrow.

He made it with three hours to spare and was in the delivery room with
Lauren’s mother and sister as she gave birth.
