Simon Cowell wants to be put on ice when he dies

Simon Cowell has revealed he wants to have his dead body frozen as an "insurance policy".

The 51-year-old X-Factor boss said that when he dies, he wants his corpse to be cryogenically frozen using liquid nitrogen – which can cost up to £120,000 - in case scientists come up with a way of bringing him back to life.

He told GQ magazine: "It's an insurance policy. If it doesn't work, it doesn't work. But if it does work, I'll be happy. If it's possible - and I think it will be - why not have a second crack? Does that sound crazy? I think it's a good idea. I have a feeling that if I don't do it, I could regret it in 300 years."

He also admitted he has a cocktail of vitamins injected into his body each week through a drip.

"Even when I'm having a viewing session with producers, she just sticks the needle in me and we carry on whatever we are doing,” he said of the procedure.

"It's an incredibly warm feeling. You feel all the vitamins going through you. It's indescribable but very calming. Everyone I've recommended it to has absolutely loved it.”
