Simon Cowell Gets Strictly Gossip From Tess

Tess Daly has revealed that Simon Cowell is a closet Strictly fan, and comes to her for all the gossip.

She told the Daily Record: “Every time I see Simon, he asks me about it and he’s secretly a fan. He always asks me how it’s going and all about the line-up – he really enjoys it. Simon knows TV, he’s a clever bloke and he understandably thinks Strictly’s a great show. He’s the first to say when credit’s due.”

Tess loves Strictly, and no amount of money could lure her away from the glam and glitter of Saturday nights: “It’s genuinely never about the money for me. To have money is a bonus in life and affords you luxuries. But Strictly is a job that I love and could never leave. It’s a part of my life.”
