Simon Cowell was reportedly far from happy when he found out ex-girlfriend Sinitta was going on I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!, and offered the singer double her fee to pull out.

Sources claim that the music mogul and X Factor boss offered 80s pop legend Sinitta double her jungle fee of £70,000 to stay off the show.

According to the Mirror, Simon - who used to date Sinitta - is worried that she might let slip some of his well-guarded secrets, which could possibly diminish his “Mr Nasty” TV image.

"She [Sinitta] thinks he's not happy. Simon has nothing to hide, but he is worried she will get loose-lipped and he likes to keep himself to himself,” an insider told the paper.

Oh come on now Angus....what is "Sources claim...."? Is it red-top speculation or genuine Private Eye scuttlebutt?
