Despite rumours of a split between X Factor guru Simon Cowell and his fiancé Mezhgan Hussainy, publicist Max Clifford claims the coupla are “as close as ever”.
Clifford made his remarks while appearing on This Morning.
He said, “I spoke to Simon yesterday, he’s in LA launching X Factor over there and he said, ‘Who is the mystery girl as I haven’t met her and I don’t know her’.
“The same journalist wrote a few weeks ago that he had dinner with Cheryl Cole and he never did. So it’s consistent!”
And when asked if Simon and Mezghan were actively planning their wedding, Clifford replied, “Well I don’t know about planning a wedding – I think you might have to wait 20 years for Simon to plan a wedding but they are as close as they’ve ever been.” Read more & comment »

PR guru Max Clifford has claimed that X Factor’s John and Edward Grimes could earn millions of pounds if they are managed correctly.
