Music mogul Simon Cowell insists he won't change his child's nappies and wants his girlfriend Lauren Silverman to take on that responsibility.
The "X Factor" boss is about to become a father for the first time this month.
"I haven't changed a nappy before and I won't. I just can't do it," contactmusic.com quoted Cowell as saying.
"I would like to be at the birth ... but a little bit far away," he added.
The 54-year-old star is currently in Britain for the new series of "Britain's Got Talent", but has a private jet on standby to fly back to be next to Silverman when she goes into labour.
Silverman is in New York.
"I am keeping my phone on during auditions 100 percent. If it happens I just have to go and dash onto a plane. I probably will be nervous when it all happens. I am going to watch 'Father of the Bride' tonight to get used to that," he said.
