Simon Cowell installs electric fence around his home?

Media mogul Simon Cowell has reportedly installed an electric fence around his mansion here to protect his pet dogs from foxes.

The 54-year-old 'X Factor' judge is believed to have taken action to guard his Yorkshire terriers Squiddly and Diddly after a fox was spotted in the back garden of his mansion in London, reported Daily Mirror.

"They have put a wire along one wall where they think foxes would come from. There were signs of them in the garden and obviously Squiddly and Diddly would be no match for a fox," a source said.

Simon, 54, and his girlfriend Lauren Silverman, 36, welcomed a son Eric in February.
