But the strange thing is, puddi - you don't hear anything at all about his private life - either straight or gay. Or at least, I haven't - except from mr.chappie! lol
When watching the x factor assume that he is gay and then pick up all the little verbal nuances from Simon and all will become obvious.
He has never been married which he said in an interview but said his private life was his own.
Sharon used to call him Lou Lou!
