Simon Cowell is reportedly a huge fan of video game, Guitar Hero.

The Britain’s Got Talent judge’s brother Nicholas said that Cowell spends hours playing the game, in a bid to become more like the rock icons he grew up idolising.

Nicholas told Channel Five documentary Simon Cowell: Where Did It All Go Right: “Simon’s got that game Guitar Hero and at night, if you go past his bedroom, you can hear it and him jumping around.”

He also said: “We were both into bands like Mud and Status Quo when we were growing up – he was a very frustrated guitar player.”
