Talent show boss Simon Cowell has teamed up with singer Ricky Martin to launch a new search for a Latino boyband – for his new show La Banda.
And when *heat *Radio’s resident radio host Ryan Seacrest caught up with Simon, he revealed that - thanks to his one-year-old son Eric - he's got a musical talent of his own.
Simon told Ryan: “Do you know how many times I’ve had to watch The Jungle Book in the last year because every time he [Eric] sees it it’s like he’s never seen it before? So we have to go through the entire movie, I swear, over 150 times – I could sing Bare Necessities backwards.
"He's beginning to act like me – I love it."
Oh what we would give to see Simon bopping along to Bare Necessities…
