Simon Cowell recently joked he’s training son Eric up to take over his massive business empire one day.

And Britain’s Got Talent co-star David Walliams revealed the five-year-old will most definitely be his boss in the future.

When discussing the ‘amazing’ chemistry between the judges, the comedian told Metro.co.uk exclusively: ‘I don’t know if Simon would want to bring in someone new or not.

‘At some point he’s going to bring his son who will be the boss of us all, no doubt.’

We could totally see Eric taking up that head judge seat…

However, it got a little darker when David suggested himself, Alesha Dixon and Amanda Holden would eventually disappear, with Simon being ‘behind’ the plot.

‘At one point one of us will disappear and you’ll just read on the news that we’ve died in mysterious circumstances and you’ll probably know Simon’s behind it,’ he added.

You heard it here first…

The music mogul welcomed Eric with partner Lauren Silverman, on Valentine’s Day back in 2014.

And, in a rare interview about his family life, the 59-year-old opened up about his fears the little one will be bullied on the school playground.

‘Him being bullied is what I dread most,’ he confessed to Weekend Magazine.

‘There are two things that worry me about him growing up. One is stress. Children are under so much stress – with homework, pressure. I really don’t want that for him.

‘The second thing is bullying. It terrifies me. If there’s even a whiff of it… I don’t think I could handle it.’

It looks like Eric could soon have another little friend in the playground, as it was revealed Alesha Dixon is expecting a baby.

Ant and Dec confirmed her pregnancy news at the beginning of the first semi-final, as they kicked off the show with a musical number.

‘Alesha is expecting,’ they told the audience, who erupted into wild cheers.

It’ll be Alesha’s second child with professional dancer Azuka Ononye, whom she shares five-year-old daughter Azura Sienna with.

The mum-to-be told the hosts she is ‘over the moon’ with her baby news, as David pretended the little one was his.

Because of course he did…

Britain’s Got Talent continues weeknights at 7:30pm, on ITV.
