Proud dad Simon Cowell shared an adorable letter written by his son Eric this week.

Whilst appearing as a guest on The Kelly Clarkson Show, Simon was asked to show off an item from his home that makes him proud and he chose the sweet Father’s Day letter he received from son Eric last weekend.

Simon told his old friend, Kelly: “Well, I would normally hold up a bottle of Corona beer, but it’s the most inappropriate beer,” he joked as his fellow America’s Got Talent colleagues, who were also on the zoom interview, laughed.

He then went on to read Eric’s sweet letter, much to the delight of all his colleagues and presenter Kelly. “This was given to me on Father’s Day and I’m going to read this to you because it was touching.

This is from Eric, my six-year-old boy, to me. ‘I like to waddle, you like to waddle. I like fish, and you like fish. You like to swim, and I like to swim. I like to walk in your footsteps standing tall like you. You have webbed feet, and I have webbed feet… and I will always love you, Eric.'”

He then added: “It’s my favourite thing I’ve ever had.”
