It has been rumoured that Simon Cowell is planning to tune into the new series of Celebrity Big Brother, just so he can catch a glimpse of his ex girlfriend.

The new run launches next Wednesday night, just two days after the normal series comes to an end on Monday. It is claimed that model Jasmine Lennard will be one of the famous faces on the lineup and the blonde beauty once enjoyed a fling with the music mogul.

Of course she has been very vocal about her adoration of the X Factor boss and even has his initials permanently tattooed on her body. It seems the feeling is mutual and a friend of Cowell’s told The Daily Star:

“Simon’s secretly still very fond of her which drives some of his current squeezes mad.

“Although he is pleased for her that she’s going into the Big Brother house he is also wondering what she’s going to say about him. She’s a free spirit and very chatty.”

Simon may still have feelings for Jasmine, but he definitely isn’t pining over her and was spotted in St Tropex this week, lounging on a yacht, surrounded by a whole host of stunning ladies.

Other stars thought to have signed up for the new Celebrity Big Brother series include Colleen Nolan, Corrie actress Julie Goodyear, Eastenders star Heather Fergison, comic Julian Clary and Dog The Bounty Hunter.
