Simon Cowell asks dead parents for advice

Media mogul Simon Cowell says he often turns to his deceased parents to seek help when he finds himself stuck in liofe

The 58-year-old music producer's father Eric passed away in 1999 and mother Julie died in 2015.

Cowell insists he still engages in a "mental conversation" with his parents as he is sure they will be able to help him get through, reports Daily Star newspaper.

"I still talk to my mum and my dad in my mind now if I am having a difficult decision or I am struggling with something.

"I have a mental conversation with the both of them and I absolutely know what the answer is - it is the weirdest thing," says Cowell.
