BGT’s Simon Cowell reveals retirement plans
SIMON Cowell has revealed when he plans to retire – and it might be a surprise to some.
With his Britain’s Got Talent contract ending in 2025, Simon has been looking to the future.
“I’ll never retire,” he said, speaking to The Sun from his mansion in Malibu.
“I would never, ever do that. I think you’ve got to have a job you hate to retire. Thank God I have a job I still love.”
He continued: “If you have a great idea and believe you can make it happen, there’s always the chance you can. This show is an example.
“It was dead in the water. I couldn’t get arrested with it.
“No one wanted to buy it. I just got really lucky that NBC bought it in America, because if they hadn’t we wouldn’t be having this conversation today. It was over.
“That’s the way thing happen sometimes I certainly wouldn’t have predicted then that however many years ago we’d be having a conversation like this still talking about a talent show.
“The great thing is there are still amazing people out there with great stories and talent they want to share.
“I look at this show like it’s a bubble. It’s a happy bubble, a funny bubble.
“It will hopefully still be around because we all need that escape sometimes.”
Asked when he’ll leave Britain’s Got Talent, he said: “I’ll be committing until 2025 – that’s when the contract runs to.”
