14 February 2006 DailyRecord SIMON Cowell has signed a megabucks deal to keep him at ITV for the next two years. The contract is believed to be worth up to £3million. Since appearing as a judge on the first series of Pop Idol in 2000, Cowell, 46, has become one of the world's biggest TV stars. His personal fortune is believed to be around £45million. Loved and loathed in equal measure, Cowell's searing put-downs have become his trademark on both sides of the Atlantic. His brutal honesty makes a huge contribution to talent show The X Factor, where he also sits as a judge. ITV's director of television Simon Shaps said: "I'm delighted that we've persuaded Simon to say at ITV. "He is a brilliant and unique talent and I look forward to continuing to work with him both on and off screen. "The X Factor was one of the biggest and most talked-about shows on UK television last year. "The third series, which starts later this year, promises to deliver the same." Cowell said: "ITV gave me my first break on television and I'm incredibly grateful. "We've had a fantastic relationship and I'm looking forward to another two successful years." |
