Single guy: Simon Cowell puts on a brave face at the Grosvenor Hotel

The pop mogul was at the Music Industry Trust's Awards at the Grosvenor House hotel, where he put on a brave face by saying "everything is fine" after his split from girlfriend Terri Seymour.

He told us he felt "alive" after becoming newly single - but hadn't had any offers from the ladies.

Perhaps they were turned off by the fact that Simon's flies were undone last night. we ' re no experts but girls do tend to like a guy who can dress himself. Thankfully, nothing vital was on display (the way Si wears his trousers, we were only likely to see his navel anyway).

And Simon, 48, denied there was anything more to his close friendship with his ex-lover Sinitta, adding: "How long have I known Sinitta? Twenty-odd years? we're the best of friends. I don't think she's free - she's married. I'll always be incredibly close to my ex girlfriends. They are like my best friends. I've never fallen out with them. [Sinitta's children] call me Silly Simon. They're adorable."

Silly Simon? A far cry from his brutal honesty on the X Factor panel.

Always one to poke fun at himself, he said he agreed with the decision to give the Pet Shop Boys the outstanding contribution to music award at next year's Brits. There had been rumours that Simon would win it, but he joked: "If I turned up at the Brits I would be lynched."

Simon was at last night's awards to pay tribute to Universal Music Group international chairman and CEO lucian Grange, who collected a Music Industry Trust's Award for his 30 years in the business.

The ceremony had live performances by Jamie Cullum, Mika and Take That. Snow Patrol - who filled for Duffy, suffering a "severe sore throat" - were momentarily left in a sticky situation when their instruments didn't work on stage. Oops!
