Seymour meets Cowell's new girlfriend

Simon Cowell's ex-girlfriend has met up with his new lover.

Television presenter Terri Seymour, who dated the music mogul for six years until they separated in 2008, was seen greeting his new partner Mezhgan Hussainy at the Extra TV studios with a "friendly" hug.

"Terri was not going to play the part of the bitter ex - she is genuinely fond of them and wishes them well as a couple," a friend of the star told The Mirror.

"It was pretty awkward, but Terri and Simon are still great friends and there are no hard feelings."
