SIMON Cowell has treated his son Eric to a trip to Disneyland Paris less than two weeks after pulling out of Britain’s Got Talent auditions.
The music mogul, 64, whisked his boy to the popular French attraction to celebrate his 10th birthday.

Together with his fiance, Eric’s mum Lauren Silverman, Simon was spotted strolling around Disneyland Park while clutching a bottle of water.
He tried to keep a low profile by wearing a black puffa jacket and jogging bottoms while also hiding behind a pair of aviator sunglasses.
Simon was also spotted enjoying the entertainment at the adjacent Walt Disney Studios park the following day, as Eric ran ahead with a Marvel-themed backpack.
American star Lauren, 46, popped on a pair of Minnie Mouse ears for the occasion.
The trio were accompanied around Disneyland Paris by an escort from the resort. They were also believed to have a bodyguard and nanny in tow.
An onlooker said: “This isn’t the first time Simon has visited Disneyland Paris at this time of year.
“It works out well with his BGT schedule and Eric’s birthday.
“He was in good spirits and happily posed for photos with a group of Girl Guides who were visiting from Dorset.”
Another fan has since shared a snap of herself and Simon at Disneyland on Facebook.
She gushed: “He was actually really nice. Loads of people were watching and didn’t want to go up to him but he was genuinely so nice to speak to.”
Jut a fortnight ago, Simon was forced to duck out of auditions for the new series of BGT after falling ill.
He had already completed one week of auditions alongside fellow judges Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and Bruno Tonioli.
But a source told The Sun he was forced to skip some the following week.
The insider said: “Simon was struck down with a severe migraine.
“He occasionally gets them and that’s why he wears glasses with coloured lenses”
