Adam Lambert has admitted that he hasn't seen Simon Cowell since he was on American Idol.

The singing star was a contestant on the eighth season of the TV talent show, ending the series as runner up.

However, speaking at a fan event hosted by radio station KC101, Lambert admitted that he hasn't seen music mogul Simon Cowell since the show - and revealed they barely even spoke whilst on it. Speaking about Cowell, he said:

"The only time I ever talked to Simon was when you guys saw me talking to him on camera. I never spoke to him except for one time when he picked my song, towards the end. I haven't seen him since."

When asked if he had a lot of interaction with him on the show, he replied:

"No, it's just what you see on camera. I think that's probably for the best, they want to keep it fair, want to keep it official."

Lambert recently attended another fan event, taking time to speak about gay acceptance in the American music industry - suggesting that the business is not ready for a gay love interest in a music video yet.
