Simon Cowell: 'I have a fear of the number 13'Music mogul Simon Cowell has opened up about a particularly 'quirky' habit of his that rules his waking life. Speaking to Britain's Daily Star newspaper, the star explained that he has a 'thing' about the number 13 and always seems to be counting things, such as steps on a staircase, to make sure he doesn't land on it: "I have some quirky habits." "Everything about me is about numbers so for some reason I am always counting numbers in the head. Even if I walk up the stairs I am counting how many steps and if it is 13 I make sure it is not going to be 13." "So the last number cannot be 13. It can't be 67 either because 6 and 7 adds up to 13. So I will walk an extra step. It is a kind of sign of madness actually." The 54-year-old, meanwhile, is currently preparing for the birth of his first child with girlfriend Lauren Silverman (pictured below with Cowell). The baby is due to be born in February.
