Simon Cowell reveals depression struggle

Simon Cowell has admitted that he suffered from depression last year.

The music mogul's long working hours and lack of companionship meant that he slipped into going a "bit nuts".

The X Factor man said: "Did a doctor say I was depressed? Yeah. I mean I knew it myself.

"You are always looking for the next high from the show and then actually if you haven't got anyone to share it with per se, or if you haven't got a family around you, you can go a bit nuts."

However, Cowell now has a baby with girlfriend Lauren Silverman and he added that everything has changed for the better.

He said: "My life has changed, but I am probably more focused on what I am doing now than I was a year ago. Maybe because it puts things in perspective having two people in my life who I am responsible for.

"There were times last year when I would live in two rooms, y'know kitchen and bedroom in your house. It is a weird existence when you live on your own. On the phone all night, blah blah blah. Now the house is full of people, it has become a home rather than a house."
