Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, Simon, 61, said: "I never would've had this kind of time with Eric before. He was amazing, because I was very embarrassed when I got home from the hospital.

"And he came in, because I've got all these metal rods in my back and screws and he went, 'Dad, you look like Iron Man.' And I went, 'Yeah, I'm like Iron Man, yeah.'"

"I was backstage and Eric was there and he just like suddenly wanted to make Eric some beans on toast and eat it together and I just thought that's so… you know normally he'd be having a big meeting about something or other or plotting how to make another billion dollars, but it was just lovely."
