It must be tough being Simon Cowell’s fiancee. Not only do you have a formidable mother, to whom he is devoted, to contend with, but also a duo of ex-girlfriends who form a regular posse. Particularly when there are holidays abroad.

So it’s not surprising that long suffering fiancee Mezghan Hussainy spelt out an ultimatum to Cowell: ditch the entourage or we’re history.

One of the exes, Sinitta, even tweeted about it at Christmas after relations with Hussainy became frosty when she found that a romantic break had already been hijacked by Sinitta and Terri Seymour (another ex).

I can imagine how the conversation between Cowell and his exes went. “Oh but don’t you think Mezghan will mind?” To which the insensitive berk replied “It’s not up to her, if I want my friends to come, you can come.”

And because it’s probably quite fun to have your wealthy ex funding your holidays (with Sinitta on record as saying she’s hard up), they had no qualms about rocking up in Barbados. Mezhgan didn’t go, thinking enough is enough.

The only surprising thing to me is that Cowell has not kicked her into touch. Maybe he does love her after all, even though they are rarely seen together. The man has more ex girlfriends than most men have had pairs of jeans – 17 attended his 50th birthday party. Maybe he is serious about marrying Mezghan, oneday, or, on the other hand, perhaps it’s a way to silence those who think he is probably gay.
