The singer described him as a 'mini Simon Cowell'.

Cheryl Fernandez-Versini has shared a picture of Simon Cowell’s son Eric saying he looks like his famous dad.

The singer posted the snap on Instagram while visiting The X Factor boss in Los Angeles with new boyfriend Liam Payne.

In her caption she joked that two-year-old Eric looks like his dad but better looking.

Eric was born on February 14th, 2014, and is Simon’s only child while his partner Lauren Silverman has another son from her previous marriage. Simon affectionately called his son ‘Tad’ in the womb because he looked like a tadpole and has since shared sweet photos of them both on social media.

Simon is currently under pressure to revive The X Factor as it suffered from low ratings last year.

Recently co-hosts Caroline Flack and Olly Murs quit after presenting one series while former presenter Dermot O' Leary suggested the boss should give the show a years break and have auditions in rooms again, instead of on a stage in front of a live audience.

Simon's clearly got a challenge on his hands to please the British public, at least making Eric happy is simpler!
