COWELL TO LEAVE HIS MILLIONS TO CHARITY

Music mogul SIMON COWELL has vowed to leave the majority of his $200 million (GBP100 million) fortune to a variety of children's and animals charities upon his death, after writing it into his will.

The American Idol judge, 48, plans to donate $180 million (GBP90 million) to various different causes after he dies - dispelling the 'Mr. Nasty' nickname his sharp tongue on TV talent shows has earned him.

He says, "Mum asked, 'Have you ever made a will?' I said, 'Thanks a lot!' But it got me thinking."

But he admits his philanthropy will mean his family and his girlfriend Terri Seymour will be left with just a fraction - $20 million (GBP10 million) - of his vast fortune to share between them.

He adds, "Hopefully I'll be a lot older when it happens, so it won't affect them much!"
