X-Factor boss Simon Cowell is, according to a source close to the star, going on a diet in a bid to get in shape ahead of the X-Factor USA launch.

Cowell wants to lose 14 pounds before he takes his place on the judging panel and according to the source, he plans on losing the weight by watching what he eats and having daily swims…

“He’s been having meals we Brits love such as spaghetti bolognese and fish fingers and chips. Being back in LA, he said it’s much easier for him to lose it as he will swim every day and his fiancée Mezhgan Hussainy will make sure he eats healthily.”

Cowell has yet to confirm who will be joining him on the X-Factor USA judging panel. Plus at this moment in time, we don’t know whether or not he plans on juggling both the UK and US versions of the X-Factor.
