Britain's Got Talent and X Factor judge Simon Cowell has returned to social media by sharing a super cute snap of his five-year-old son, Eric Cowell.

The music mogul, who became a dad back in 2014, shared the cute photo of his mini-me to his Instagram page, showing Eric reading a book which was illustrated by his friend. He wrote alongside the snap, 'Eric reading his new favourite book 'Come Find Me' and it's illustrated by my friend @terrycrews!' [sic]

The photo, which was Simon's first Instagram post since June 2017, immediately racked up the likes, with many commenting their shock at how 'grown-up' Eric looks.

One fan wrote, 'He is getting so tall 😊', with another writing, 'Your Mini Me!!❀❀❀'. A third then wrote, 'WOW, he's so grown up!' [sic]
