Sinitta 'bursts into tears' after learning lifelong friend Simon Cowell fathered a child with socialite Lauren Silverman

'It should have been me'

Former 80s pop star Sinitta, one of Simon Cowell's former flames allegedly burst into tears after learning the shock news that he would finally become a father.
Now divorced, with two adopted children of her own, a tearful Sinitta, 49, is said to have told Cowell 'it should have been me' after hearing the X Factor mogul is expecting a child with married US socialite Lauren Silverman, 36.
Sinitta's reaction comes after the 49-year-old singer appeared to suggest the situation was 'half miracle, half nightmare', a cryptic tweet she posted two days before news of Cowell's love child emerged.
Although Sinitta didn't directly reference Lauren's pregnancy in her tweet, the timely posting seemed to allude to the 53-year-old multimillionaire's parenthood.
