«Breaking News» Simon Cowell blames New Year's Honours snub on Panama Papers leak

Simon Cowell has admitted he blames being snubbed from the New Year's Honours on his name appearing in the 2016 Panama Papers leak.

Speaking to The Sun On Sunday the mogul said he 'wouldn't care' if he was never recognised for his TV and charity work, but is now far more in touch with HMRC after his name was linked to numerous offshore tax accounts - which are legal.

Despite this Simon insisted he 'doesn't care' if he is never recognised by Her Majest for his work, as he said he knows he's doing it for the right reasons.

He said: 'The first thing you have to ask is, ''Are you doing it [charity work] to get something out of it?'' No, of course I'm not.

'I love what I do and am very fortunate to be able to help when I can. The Panama thing was the one and only time the tax thing was raised, the only time that I have ever had a problem. 

'If this is the case — why I haven't been honoured — then I wouldn't really care, to be honest.'

Simon's words came as he enjoys a sun-soaked Christmas break in Barbados with girlfriend Lauren Silverman and their four-year-old son Eric, after wrapping up The X Factor earlier this month.

The stars' name appeared among many others when papers belonging to the secretive Panama law firm were leaked.

In the documents Simon was named as the sole shareholder of two British Virgin Islands ­companies set up in 2007 - though the procedure is completely legal.

The producer has also been lauded throughout his career for his generosity and charity work, and in 2014 was named as one of the UK’s top 165 charity donors after giving more than £1.6million to good causes.

Simon will return to TV in the New Year when filming commences for the Britain's Got Talent auditions, reuniting with judges David Walliams, Alesha Dixon and Amanda Holden.

The producing legend will also reach the huge milestone of turning 60, and he has already teased plans for an lavish birthday bash in October.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
