Simon Cowell denies `gay` claims

London: Simon Cowell has denied the claim of him being a "gay", post dismissal of Tulisa Contostavlos`s drug trial.The former N-Dubz singer`s PA, Gareth Varey, was heard in a recording played during the trial, saying that he knew men who had slept with Cowell, suggest reports.

In a statement, after the conclusion of the trial, it was written that the 54-year-old television personality was referred to during the trial without forewarning, which resulted in widespread media coverage of untrue claims regarding his private life. The statement further added that in 2014, the question of someone`s preference ( gay or not) was "antiquated" and since, Varey made a false statement, they were obliged to clarify.
