Sinitta: 'Cowell is destructive influence'

Sinitta has accused Simon Cowell of being a "destructive influence" on her children.

The singer was once engaged to Cowell and he is godfather to her adopted children Magdelena, three, and 19-month-old Zac.

However, she told Now: "He's a destructive influence, though! He's made it his sole purpose to disrupt and undermine everything I have taught them!

“When there's something they don't want to eat, Simon will take it and spit it out on the floor, so of course they copy him.

“The last time he was here he said he was going to take Magdalena home with him. I was like, 'Wow!'"
