Simon Cowell is expecting his first child with Lauren Silverman soon and according to his close friend Sinitta, the reality judge has been gearing up for fatherhood by using a doll that has real life functions. She commented that watching Simon trying to learn the basics has been amusing because he doesn’t have a clue:
‘He and Lauren got my daughter Magdalena a doll that can cry and do a wee-wee. It was funny watching him sitting there with it. One minute he’d turn it one way and it would start crying, then he’d turn it the other way and it would wee on him. He didn’t know what to do.”
Sinitta added that she has even seen him trying to tend to a real life child and he was just as clueless. She admits that she doesn’t think Simon knows the first thing about caring for a child:
”Someone handed him a baby to hold on the beach and I’ve never seen anything so awkward and ridiculous in my life. He didn’t know one end from the other.”
Simon has personally admitted that he isn’t that prepared for the new baby yet. He says there are several “boring” tasks that need to be taken care of before the arrival and he isn’t looking forward to baby-proofing his home:
”There are a lot of boring things that happen when you have a baby. You have to get rid of sharp edges, cigarettes, alcohol … then there’s the toilet to make safe. But I’ll have a smoking room!”
