Simon Cowell exclusive: X Factor judge is building a £10 million bachelor pad in Barbados

Simon Cowell is building a new £10 million bachelor pad in Barbados - with sexy mirrored walls in the bedrooms.

The newly single X Factor judge has bought ten acres of land close to the exclusive five-star Sandy Lane resort on the luxury island.

The building work will start this month - and Cowell has given architects a strict criteria of what he wants.

And top of his list are the lavish mirror panels for the bedrooms which he hopes to make the centrepiece of the house.

Cowell - who recently split from long-term love Terri Seymour - has told pals the new mansion will be the ultimate singleton's pad.

One friend said: "No expense will be spared - it will have installed all the latest gizmos and boys toys.

"Cowell has been very specific when it comes to what he wants - and specifiaclly insisted on the mirror panels in the bedrooms.

"He thinks they will be hilarious and can't wait to show them off. Simon says the project is his pride and joy and that he'll be personally overseeing the whole building process."

As well as the raunchy bedrooms, the six-bedroom pad will boast a helipad and indoor mini-cinema.

It will also feature a top-of-the-range kitchen and marble bathroom, as well as a swimming pool with a poolside bar.

It will be the SECOND mansion that Cowell, 49, has on the island which is a favourite with the jet-set crowd.

But he wants the new house to be close to the posh Sandy Lane resort where he is a regular.

A pal added: "He is undecided at the moment about whether he will sell his other £5 million pad or not.

"He's so loaded, he might keep both of them. It's a luxury he can afford."

Cowell is currently on the Caribbean island with his ex Sinitta after enjoying Christmas and New Year there.

The singer and her children, Magdalena, three, and Zac, two, are staying at his luxury villa there.

He has also been pictured with Topshop boss Sir Philip Green enjoying the tropical temperatures.

Sinitta herself said recently: "I'm going to Barbados for a few weeks with my babies.

"We're going with Simon and we'll be staying in the house that we shot The X Factor in - it's such a great place."

The X Factor boss has grown close to 40-year-old Sinitta - whom he first dated 18 years ago - since her marriage to financier Andy Wilner hit the rocks earlier this year. He took Sinitta with him to Barbados earlier this year as part of The X Factor judges' houses stage.

The pal added: "Simon is having a great holiday and is totally in love with the island.

"He has got a bit more time on his hands now the X Factor has finished and is looking forward to getting stuck into the building project. He's sure everyone will love the finished product."
