X Factor judge, Simon Cowell has admitted that he is planning to have his body frozen after he dies with the intention of being brought to life in the future.

The Daily Mail reports that Cowell  told guests at a private dinner hosted by Prime Minister Gordon Brown:

‘I have decided to freeze myself when I die. You know, cryonics. You pay a lot of money and you get stuck in a deep freeze once you’ve been declared dead.

‘Medical science is bound to work out a way of bringing us back to life in the next century or so, and I want to be available when they do.

I would be doing the nation an invaluable service.’

Thankfully PM Gordon Brown won’t be following suit. He said:

‘I am not sure me coming back from the dead would be quite as popular as Simon,’ the Prime Minister said. ‘In fact, there may be a public campaign to stop me being frozen!’
