Cowell almost quit TV last year

The ‘X Factor’ and ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ judge Simon Cowell – who also sits on the panel of US show ‘American Idol’ – decided to evaluate his life when he realise how much his work commitments were taking over.

He said: “I came close to giving up work last year when I looked at about June/July and my PA showed me I had an 18 month schedule which took me all the way up to December of this year and every single day was practically planned and that really depressed me.”
