Sinitta reveals what she bought Simon Cowell and his son Eric for Christmas

We find it hard enough to find the perfect gifts for our nearest and dearest at Christmas-time, but what do you get the father and son who have everything?

Sinitta has opened up about what she bought her ex-boyfriend and close friend, Simon Cowell, and his two-year-old son Eric this festive season, and we have to admit, it sounds like she did a pretty fab job.

The ‘So Macho’ singer shared: “[I bought] Simon the new ‘Star Wars Battle Quads’ drone, which can fly 35mph, while I got Lauren [Silverman, Simon’s partner] some Louboutin make-up.

“I gifted Eric a karaoke machine – we love singing carols together.

“His dad might sign us if we create a Christmas mash-up!”

Could Sinitta and Eric be the next X Factor sensations? Here’s hoping…

Sinitta went on to reveal what the millionaire music mogul normally gifts her for Christmas, sharing: “Simon treated me to a pair of Louboutins one year but these days he gives me a Harrods gift card.

“I’ll send him a picture of what I bought as a thank you!”

But the star, who is mum to adopted children Magdalena, 11, and Zac, 10, admitted that nobody will ever be able to beat the Christmas gift of being legally granted custody of her children nine years ago.

She explained: “My all-time favourite gift was when my adoption of Magdalena and Zac finally went through in 2007.

“The process took a long time and when they legally became my children, it was a week before Christmas. It was perfect timing.”

And to be fair, we totally understand why a pair of Louboutins or a Harrods gift card will never compete with that.
