Cowell gives ex-fiancee a £5m kiss goodbye

Simon Cowell is giving his ex-fiancee Mezhgan Hussainy a £5m (€6m) gift following the end of their stormy relationship, according to reports.

The 52-year-old X Factor supremo split with the make-up artist, ending their wedding plans, after a series of rows.

Now journalist Tom Bower says in a new unauthorised biography that Cowell promised to transfer ownership of his £5m Beverly Hills house to Ms Hussainy, for being a “hopeless boyfriend”.
