I thought there would already be a thread about this but on Good Morning Britain this morning they said that Simon Cowell's mum passed away. I only caught the tail end of it so I don't know when it was.

I'm so glad she saw her grandchild though.
Simon will be distraught..

I feel really sorry for Simon and his family, and am sorry I will no longer bump into Mrs B walking her dog.
Perhaps Squiddly and Diddly might share their basket/s?
Condolences to Simon and the rest of the family and friends.
He absolutely idolised his mother.:(
My thoughts exactly when I heard this news.
Simon Cowell is not my favourite person but he will obviously be devasated and I offer my condolences. Losing my mother is my worst fear so I've nothing but sympathy for anyone who is going through what Simon will be at the moment.
According to Amanda Holden on This Morning he has. I'm sure she said that he's taking the dog himself but either way her dog will be OK
She sounds like a lovely woman, RIP. I'm not a fan of Simon Cowell but it's obvious he adored his mother so he has my sympathy, losing a much loved parent is awful.
I hear you.
I lost my mother several years ago and it was just devastating. I was very close to her, like Simon was to his mum.
Its nine years since my mum died and I miss her on a daily basis.
Its a pain you just learn to live with.
Hope Simon and the family can all help each other at this very sad time.
I do seem to remember reading not too long ago that she was a good age and was living somewhere on the South Coast. I'm really glad to think that she was able to meet her grandson, Eric.
I also wonder, day dreamer. I suppose we can only be thankful they are in a relatively small minority. Disgusting.
I feel for Simon, his brothers and the whole family. I've not lost either of my parents yet but as with you, it is something I don't wish to even think about because it's too painful to bear.
What a classy comment.
Simon is imo deeply entrenched in a world of PR smoke and mirrors in general.
I do feel sorry his mum has died, as I would for anyone, it is a great loss for him and his family, clearly.
But it is not our collective loss, and I rather applaud you for not joining in the chorus of hand-wringing and shrill indignance aimed at anyone who dares say what most of the nation probably thought for about 2 seconds, before dismissing it - as being as unlikely as Sinitta ever revealing her true age.
It's sad when a loved one dies but, she lived to a very good age and he's lucky to have had his mother into his sixth decade. Hundreds of mothers were murdered in Gaza last July as a result of his generous donation to the Israeli defence force. I wonder how many bullets he paid for.
"what most of the nation thought for about 2 seconds"? Really? Most? You mis-judge "most" of the nation methinks just because a couple of people said it here. Those of us who think it is disgusting to make such a comment at this time are not wringing our hands I am sure. I'm certainly not. But there's a phrase that goes something like this... 'there's a time and a place' and actually probably another thread.
Expressing sadness for someone's loss should not be something to look down on and the thought of Simon finally coming out didn't cross my mind for a second. If it did though, I'd keep it to myself. Politeness is clearly something some people don't care about.
Me too, I never even gave it a thought, I just thought how sad as he adores his mum.
