Simon Cowell presented with top award by One Direction as Cheryl looks on
One Direction have presented Simon Cowell with one of the highest accolades in the music industry – the 24th Music Industry Trusts Award in London.
He was watched by guests including Cheryl Fernandez-Versini, Olly Murs and Little Mix.
Simon only just made it in time as he was having a make-up nightmare to cover his bruises after X Factor contestant Anton Stephans butted him during Sunday’s results show. “It bloody hurt,” he told us.
Cheryl looked stunning
Cowell, 56, was recognised for his contribution to the music and entertainment industry as well as many charitable causes.
Even former foes – including Leona Lewis, who penned a track about her bad experiences on his label, and James Arthur – turned up at London’s Grosvenor House Hotel to mark the award.
Simon led the way with his stunning other half, as he dropped his recent scruffy appearance for a smart suit and a clean-shaven face.
Meanwhile Lauren matched her man in a black and white strapless gown, showing off major cleavage and her tiny waist.

Meanwhile they were joined by a leg-bombing Cheryl, who was beaming with happiness in a sheer grey top and white thigh-split skirt.
Proving the X Factor glamour continues off screen too, the brunette beauty looked sensational as she showed off her toned pins and wore her hair loose and wavy.
