Simon Cowell looks thinner than ever as he shows off his toned torso while taking Eric, 5, jetskiing in Barbados

SIMON Cowell looked thinner than ever as he showed off his toned torso while taking son Eric jetskiing in Barbados.

The 60-year-old star is enjoying his annual Caribbean holiday with Lauren Silverman and his five-year-old little boy.

The music mogul was almost unrecognisable as he strutted along the shore in a pair of patterned swimming trunks that showed off his trim figure.

Simon’s sunkissed skin was glowing from his winter tan, with the star protecting his eyes with a pair of trendy sunglasses.

He was seen holding hands with Eric, who was in green swimwear and goggles, with a lifejacket securely fastened as the father and sun prepared for the jetskis.

Lauren, 42, also looked sensational in a one-shoulder swimming costume.

The brunette beauty went paddle-boarding, accessorising with a pair of sunglasses and a white sunhat.

Simon is said to have lost three stone in weight after a health scare in 2017 which saw him switch to a vegan diet and begin to incorporate more fruit and veg.

In an exclusive chat with The Sun Online, Simon revealed that he had lost 4 inches from his waist after overhauling his diet.

He said: “The most dramatic period was the first month where most of the weight comes off and you look at yourself and think ‘wow’.”

He added: “I used to be 36 inch waist and now I’ve lost four inches. I’m really happy now.

“You can drink this light beer but you’ve got to be sensible about quantities. I have loads more energy and feel great.”

Simon suffered a fall on his stairs inside his London home October 2017 which forced him to reevaluate his lifestyle; he blamed his injuries on his unhealthy lifestyle where he “lived like a vampire” staying awake till 8am every morning.

Not only has his diet helped him shed the pounds, but Simon says it’s made him a better dad to Eric.

Simon told The Sun: “My memory’s better, my energy’s better. And when you’ve got a five year old you’ve got to be able to keep up with them because the minute they’re awake they’re all over the place. His energy is unbelievable.

“So I was conscious of the fact I have to keep up with him energy wise and someone recommended this as the way to go.

“I tried it and I stuck to it, it’s one of the easiest things I’ve ever done.”
