Simon Cowell has totally overhauled his lifestyle in the past couple of years and as a result has dropped a massive four stone.
It's thought that due to this healthier lifestyle it will help the entertainment mogul recover more quickly following his fall from an electric bike where he broke his back and needed six hours of surgery.
The 60 year old is in hospital recovering and "doing fine" after the accident, where he was reportedly just 1cm away from damaging his spinal cord and "almost paralysed".
Simon has been living in Malibu with his girlfriend Lauren Silverman and doting on their son Eric during lockdown, which was where the accident happened, and revealed back in May that he had been sticking to his vegan diet to keep on top of his weight loss.

While speaking to Terri Seymour on Extra the Britain's Got Talent judge explained: "I think I have dropped, since I started this diet a year ago, 60 pounds."
He said being in quarantine with his family has made sticking to his strict no-meat-or-dairy diet much easier, besides the occasional temptations brought on by his six year old son Eric, who loves to order in pizza.
"Im doing a bit of cooking. Im exercising. Funny enough, more during this time as well, sticking to the diet," he said.
"The only difficult thing is when Eric orders a pizza... Thats the number one thing I miss."
Simon decided to become a vegan and exercise more after he had a health scare when he fainted and fell down the stairs in 2017.
Speaking about a health condition which saw him hospitalised, he told Extra: I went to see this guy whos very well-known. And he said to me, after doing some blood work, You cant have red meat, dairy, sugar, bread or gluten.
And opening up to The Sun, he confirmed what his diet now consists of. A friend of mine, who is a doctor, recommended speaking to an expert, and I did it on a whim. Within 24 hours I changed my diet and Ive not looked back since. You feel better, you look better.
I cut out a lot of the stuff I shouldnt have been eating and that was primarily meat, dairy, wheat, sugar those were the four main things.
It was way easier than you may think. Like, I used to have yoghurt in the morning and I changed it to almond-milk yoghurts. I have almond milk in my tea.
I can eat certain fruits but not all fruits. You have to be careful because some fruit can have more sugar than a can of Coke.
Simon, who still smoked, added: "I could see the difference. Cutting out sugar made a massive difference. The first few weeks were difficult, but then I actually stopped craving sugar. I had also found a brilliant gluten-free beer, which helps."
One of the ways Simon has been keeping fit after his lifestyle transformation is exercising.
He told Amanda Holden during an episode of Britains Got Talent: Unseen Bits he had done 150 press ups before I come to work in about three goes, according to The Sun.
The father of one also likes bike rides and his fellow BGT judge Amanda revealed his secret to keeping trim during filming.
"Hes not a runner. Hes definitely not a runner. He hasnt had to run for a bus for a long time, has he?! He has weights.
"When we do Britains Got Talent we get allocated one of the loos in the theatre that we just get to use.
"He has these things, I dont know what you call them. Theyre sort of stuck to the floor and they have handles so he can do his own press ups on them And it works! His upper body is amazing."
When Simon first debuted his new slimline appearance rumours were rife that he had had turned to surgery to aid with weight loss.
However, Simon explicitly denied this when talking to Best magazine. He said: People have said, Oh, hes had a gastric band fitted - but I havent.
"If I had, I would admit to it. This diet is all about what you put into your body. Its not the Atkins diet or anything else.
A source told the Daily Mail following Simon's fall that he would likely be ready in a months' time to film America's Got Talent finale.
"He is actually healthier than he ever has been which is why he was trying out an electric bike in the first place. He is, at least, in great shape to recover from it."
After his health scare Simon made a big change in his life, snapping up two family homes instead of living in a bachelor pad, preferring his 19m Malibu beach home
"Sometimes we get a reminder that were not invincible and this was certainly mine. It was a huge shock.
He said previously: "They think I fainted because I had low blood pressure and so I have got to take good care of myself to sort that out.
"After all, I am a dad and have more responsibility than ever."
In lockdown doting dad Simon has been sticking to his fitness and healthy eating regime as well as sleeping outside with his son Eric.
"I was concerned how [Eric] was going to cope with all of this. He has been absolutely amazing. He is still able to do schoolwork, and now we are camping on the weekends in the garden."
