UPDATE: Simon Cowell’s car bugged

The X Factor judge's minders find tracking device

Tuesday, 2 December 2008

Simon Cowell has been left horrified after sophisticated tracking equipment was found attached to his £140,000 Bentley Continental car.

The X Factor judge is now thought to be considering stepping up security and having his homes swept for bugging equipment.

Simon is completely freaked out by this,’ a source tells the Daily Mirror. ‘He can't believe someone has gone to so much trouble and expense to monitor his every movement.

‘He is so angry he is considering calling in the police to investigate further.’

Simon, 49, is said to have raised the alarm with his minders after noticing a mystery biker turning up to all his appointments.

His agent Max Clifford has confirmed a device was found on his motor.

'It's a step too far,' he tells The Independent. 'He's been in this business for years. We're not making a song and dance about it, but it is unlawful. He is not a suspected terrorist. 

'We've found out who the journalist is and we have decided to send out a note to the other papers asking them to refrain from that sort of thing.'
