In a new interview with HELLO!, The X-Factor star Simon Cowell dishes on diaper duty and family life with girlfriend Lauren Silverman and their son Eric, 15 months.

On fatherhood: “I still haven’t changed a nappy, but I love being a dad. I never expected to be a father, but I love it. Eric makes me laugh. He and I communicate very well because we basically like the same things — Scooby Doo, Disney movies, laughing at the dogs.”

On having more children: “It would be lovely to have two and, yes, I would like to have a little girl.”

Lauren – who is also mom to 9-year-old Adam – on their happy family: “Simon’s house is now a family home. I have three boys now, including him. He’s lots of fun, he makes us all laugh a lot. I think Simon has changed me. He makes me laugh all the time. I can’t get angry with him because when I’m trying to be cross, he just makes me laugh.”

Lauren, on thinking Eric was a girl: “When I was pregnant with Eric I was told by the doctors he was a girl. But he just fooled them. There were a few names floating around, but we had our name picked out and it would be lovely to have a girl. The only problem is that I will feel sorry for her when she is older because she won’t be able to leave the house, and no man would dare come near here because Simon would be so protective.”
