Simon Cowell was interviewed by children on the day of his appointment as the new patron of Children's Hospices UK.

On this occasion he said that as an American Idol and X Factor judge, he's not being evil, he's just honest.

"I think one of them asked if I wore Y-fronts or boxers or something," Cowell told BBC Newsbeat. "My favorite question was at the end - 'Why are you evil?'.

"And the answer, 'It's more fun than being nice'. I've never honestly considered myself to be nasty. Whatever people think of me genuinely is sort of irrelevant. Judging a talent show is a job, this is the real world."
