[Smithy]

The drugs trial of N-Dubz star Tulisa took a sensational turn today as jurors were played a secret recording where the former X factor judge's manager Gareth Varey told 'Fake Sheik' Mazher Mahmood that Simon Cowell was gay.

When Mr Mahmood asked Mr Varey off camera if Contostavlos’ fellow X Factor judge was gay, he replied: "Yes".

Mr Mahmood then asked:"‘Have you slept with him?", Mr Varey replied: "No".

Asked why he had not, Mr Varey said: "One day I will when I make my move". Mr Mahmood said: ‘Do you fancy him or not?’

Mr Varey answered: "No". Mr Mahmood then asked: "How do you know he’s gay?"

Mr Varey responded: "I know people who have".
