X Factor judge, Simon Cowell, has reportedly given up alchoholic drinks in a bid to beat the middle aged beer belly.

Fellow Britain’s Got Talent judge Piers Morgan, 43, told The Daily Star: “After the show we normally go and chat in the green room.

“The conversation usually involves me tormenting Simon, him tormenting me and Amanda either laughing or crying.

“I have a glass of wine but Simon’s always on Diet Coke because he’s thinking about his potential for ‘Torso of the Week’ in Heat mag.”

A source added: “Simon is very conscious about his appearance. You just have to look at his bright white teeth to see that.”
