Simon Cowell and girlfriend Lauren Silverman are rubbishing claims that he had an affair with Mel B.

A number of newspapers have reported that Lauren sent a series of angry messages over claims Simon was seeing Mel B and that the pair had broken up.

A spokesperson for Simon says they are still together and isolating in LA.

The news comes after Amanda Holden’s eight-year-old daughter Hollie accidentally sparked the rumours that Simon and Lauren were broken up.

However, a source close to the couple has since branded the story “utterly ridiculous”.

The insider has said: “Clearly this story is utterly ridiculous and completely pointless – because there was no affair.”

“Simon and Lauren are very happy together as a couple. They have been in lockdown together in LA for more than six weeks now,” the source added.

Hello everyone. I wanted to share something exciting my son Eric and I have been working on. I would like to introduce to you #WISHFITS. To begin with, we have announced a seven book deal with @hachettekids today. WISHFIT is a world where the most unusual animals exist. The WISHFITS are magical, unusual and have evolved in a weird and wonderful way, combining two different species to form hybrid animals with very distinct characteristics! Some of Eric’s favourite WISHFITS include the DAT (dog/cat) the COG (cat/dog), the SNOG (snail/dog – the enthusiasm of a dog at the speed of a snail), the PEEP (pig/sheep) the CHUG (cheetah/slug - the slowest cat in the world), the HIPPOROO (hippo/kangaroo), the CHIMPANPOO (chimpanzee/poodle), the POLARBAT (polarbear/bat), the CROCOPUSS (crocodile/cat), the SHIGER (sheep/tiger - the most nervous cat in the world), the SPIKEY (spider/donkey) and many, many more. To be able to write a series of books with my son Eric has been magical. This idea was inspired 3 years ago by a very special friend of ours who runs a Children’s Hospice charity. I told her one evening about some of the funny animals my son Eric and I would invent, starting with the Cog and the Dat. And how every evening the two of us would think of the most unlikely animal we would like to have as a pet. She loved this idea so much she encouraged me to turn this into a book series. I then met with an amazing company called @tongalteam who have a global community of creators. We loved the idea of thousands of creative people being part of the development of our idea. I am thrilled to be working with Hachette, an amazing publishing house. They shared our passion and enthusiasm from the moment we told them about WISHFITS.
 Two of the children’s charities I work closely with will benefit from profits of WISHFITS, @sschospices and @togetherforshortlives. Simon PS. My gut feeling is that some of these WISHFITS actually exist…somewhere!

Simon and Mel have worked together a number of times over the past few years, both appearing on the judging panels for The X Factor in 2014, and America’s Got Talent in 2016.

Amanda, was baffled by the attention, she told Metro: ‘Hollie last saw Lauren when she was about to board a plane back to America during BGT auditions to go and visit her eldest son and so I can only presume that’s what made her – incorrectly – think it.’

She adds: ‘In reality, Lauren and I have even been exchanging photos of our families in lockdown. And Simon’s even learned how to cook!’
