Carmen Electra had so much fun with Simon Cowell

She told Loaded magazine: "I just thought Simon was so much fun and was so smart and he's really interesting.

"I think he's awesome and very charming. He has such a great sense of humour and I honestly think he's going to be an amazing father, I truly do."

And Carmen thinks little Eric will grow up to take over his father's showbiz empire.

She added: "I'm sure little Eric Cowell will get a lot of knowledge of entertainment and business. He'll absolutely have to take over the family empire. I can see it. I can picture him doing that."

Simon has previously said he plans for Eric to inherit his company in the future.

He said: "In all seriousness, he's going to do what I do. In time he's going to inherit my business. That's certainly the plan."
