Singer Sinitta, 56, told the Daily Star: “Simon is a germaphobe. We take our packet of wet wipes and we wipe down the plane when we fly.

“We wear pyjamas. And I got us our own flying suits, which are inflatable. They are actual outfits that we wear on the plane, which are like shellsuits.”

The suits have inbuilt pillows and masks for their eyes and covers hands so Sinitta and Simon don’t have to come into contact with anything.
Sinitta says the long-term friends don’t care how “crazy” they look in their inflatable suits, because they “just want to protect ourselves”.

She bought the unusual attire before the coronavirus pandemic exploded across the world.

A representative for Simon told The Sun Online Sinitta’s claim is “complete rubbish” and she hasn’t flown with him for two years.

Simon has previously spoken out about his fear of germs in an interview with Dan Wootton on his talkRADIO drive time show.

Admitting he wasn’t taking any risks over coronavirus, Simon said: “I am terrified about it. I have worn masks for ages.

“When I cycle around town I wear a mask.”

The Sun Online exclusively revealed Simon was tested for coronavirus after his America’s Got Talent co-star Heidi Klum showed symptoms.

The music mogul and the rest of the TV crew were checked out by medics when Heidi fell ill.

The show had to halt filming over the coronavirus outbreak, but Simon was optimistic about bringing it back in anyway he could.

Looking fighting fit, Simon said: “All going well, because we’ve already filmed a lot it’s in the can. I want to get it out as quickly as possible while everyone is at home because they’ve got nothing to watch.

“I don’t want to sit on all this material, it would be crazy.

“I everything goes ok, should be coming back at the end of July.

“The auditions have started in the UK and then in the US last week in May.’’
