X Factor star Lucy Spraggan, who has enjoyed a successful career since appearing on the talent show in 2012, has kept a close friendship with music mogul Simon Cowell
Lucy Spraggan has said that she has to “go through” Lauren to speak to Simon Cowell, despite him walking her down the aisle. Simon and Lucy have been close ever since she competed on The X Factor back in 2012, but she still doesn’t have direct contact with him.
Lucy has said that Simon never gets in touch first and when she wants to speak to him, she has to go through his partner Lauren. However, this is due to the fact that Simon doesn’t have his own personal mobile phone.
Simon is only contactable through his fiancée Lauren Silverman due to this. Despite not having regular contact over the phone, Lucy said that she and her wife Emilia Smith often stay with Simon and Lauren at their homes in LA and the Cotswolds as well as going on holiday to Barbados.
Lucy told The Sun: “I speak to Lauren all the time. But Simon hasn’t got a phone so I speak to him when she’s on the phone!”
Simon played a big role at Lucy’s wedding last year. He walked the singer down the aisle as well as reading a poem at the ceremony.
It was during a holiday when Simon was asked by Lucy to do the honour. Speaking exclusively to the Mirror, the singer-songwriter said: “It’s as nice to have a close bond with anyone. He’s just a really remarkable guy, really individual person.
“I speak about this a lot, there’s a lot of people that have a lot of things to say about him, there’s a bit of a mass perception that a lot of people can have and I can only go off the person that I’ve interacted with and I’ll judge someone on their merit and how they’ve been with me.
“I’ve had nothing but great times with Simon and had a lot of really important conversations, I think he’s a great guy.”
Lucy was previously married to Georgina Gordon before they went their separate ways in 2019. The two of them talked about wanting to start a family together and they fostered 12 children during their six year marriage.
However, Lucy has said now that she doesn’t see children being in her future. She said: “I don’t want kids. All of my friends that had kids are like, ‘Luce – don’t do it. I love them, but don’t!’
“Em has some health issues herself. And, like, I do music and I do my job so that I can experience peace in between. I feel like I couldn’t give what I need to give to my career if I had a child, and I wouldn’t have any f*****g peace If I had a child. It’s dogs, dogs for me.”
