TV's Mr Nasty Simon Cowell has spent most of his career building up a reputation for being cool, calm and collected - and VERY honest - in his role as a talent judge. But after becoming a father to little Eric in 2014, Simon's tough exterior has definitely softened somewhat.

Not even he can deny it, especially after his interview with Loose Women's Ayda Field, wife of Robbie Williams, this afternoon (21st May) in which his adorable four-year-old son Eric featured.

Simon first asked his son whether he'd like to be in the interview with him or whether he wanted to watch, but the son of media mogul Simon was not one to turn down a spot in the limelight.

As Ayda attempted to conduct a serious interview about Simon's involvement in a charity called Together For Short Lives and his help in raising awareness for Children's Hospice Week (21st - 27th May), Eric began tickling his dad causing Simon to crack up laughing before asking Eric to leave for a short time.

He later came back in and began entertaining everyone all over again, and whilst Simon tried to remain professional and answer Ayda's questions, he couldn't tear his eyes away from his gorgeous son.

Viewers took to Twitter to comment on the lovely bond between the two of them.

But it wasn't just little Eric who gatecrashed the interview, as Ayda's husband Robbie Williams got in on the act too, pretending to be a butler and bringing Ayda a cup of tea.

Later in the interview, Ayda asked whether Robbie himself would have gotten through on Britain's Got Talent, to which Simon cryptically replied, "Robert and myself had a chance to work together many, many years ago - but I was dumped."

We're pretty sure they've both done pretty well despite not working together!
