“They played together in the little area. He's a little bit younger. Roch was working on Xtra factor so they would play together there. Roch is friends with Lauren. I wouldn't say I'd call Simon up and have a chat with him but I know I could call him.”

Simon’s fascination with the prehistoric creatures took centre stage at Sunday’s party.

Last year he revealed that son Eric bought him three dinosaur models for Christmas.

He revealed: "He hasn’t asked for much, funnily enough. He likes dogs and bears. I’ll get him a bear.

“He knows I like dinosaurs and he has told me he’s bought me three.

“I ask him ‘Where are the ­dinosaurs?’ You can see him thinking ‘they’re in the car, they’re in the piano. One is coming to Barbados.”
