Simon Cowell suffers a dramatic fall as he stumbles out of Pride Of Britain Awards
SIMON Cowell took a dramatic tumble after the star-studded Pride of Britain Awards last night.
The Syco owner, 59, almost went flying as he tripped outside the Grosvenor House Hotel while heading to his taxi.
The X Factor judge was making his way home when he lost his footing on the path and his legs to buckled beneath him.
With his arms flailing, the music mogul managed to steady himself on a plant pot to avoid hitting the floor completely.
Despite the awkward tumble, Simon had recovered just seconds later when he was seen signing autographs for fans, before clambering into his taxi behind partner Lauren Silverman.
Pride of Britain is always a star-studded affair it celebrates the country’s unsung heroes.
Simon and Lauren joined the famous faces on the red carpet, including Holly Willoughby, Louise Redknapp and his fellow X Factor judges Robbie Williams and Ayda Field.
Holly was seen leaving the bash soon after in her stunning tulle ballgown, while Louise made a dash for her taxi through the underground car park.
Simon seemed to have enjoyed a night off at the event, after a busy few weeks on the new series of The X Factor.
The Britain’s Got Talent judge is triumphing so far as the only mentor to not have lost any acts to the public vote.
The evening also marked a rare date night for him and Lauren, away from their son Eric, four.
The pair have been going strong since 2013 and Simon, who was a notorious womaniser, recently said his life feels much more fulfilled now he’s settled down.
He told the : “Eric is absolutely incredible and so funny. [Being a father] its the best thing that ever happened to me.”
