Not brilliant with babies: Simon Cowell

Music mogul Simon Cowell, set to become a father for the first time, has admitted that he is not good with babies, but will make a good adviser to his son.

Simon's girlfriend Lauren is pregnant. The couple is expecting a boy, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

"I'm not brilliant with babies. I never know what to do. But once he's older, I think I'll be a good dad in terms of advice," Parade magazine quoted the 54-year-old as saying.

"And then I'll get to do all the things I want to do, like go to Disneyland or Universal Studios, teach him how to drive - I love all that," he added.

Simon even went on to say that he is hoping to pass his love of music to his son.

"He'll listen to whatever I listen to and make his own choices. It's funny ... my mum played Frank Sinatra when I was a kid, and because he was her choice, I used to hate it, but I love Sinatra now," he said.

"He always looked like he was having fun and he didn't conform. That's probably why I've got pictures of him all over my house!" Cowell added.
