Simon Cowell has revealed that he is ‘sort of delighted’ that his horrible motorcycle accident occurred in the year 2020.

The 62-year-old television star recalled the tragedy in an interview with Radio Times, saying that he is now feeling better.

“That accident on my bike was pretty horrendous and I had a trainer to get me through it otherwise I’d never healed properly,” the music mogul stated.

Britain’s Got Talent judge added, “Now I’m fitter than I was before. So I’m kind of happy it happened, weirdly.”

“It’s like it was meant to be,” he concluded.

Cowell had an accident when he fell off his electric bike in Malibu back in 2020 after which he had to undergo back surgery. He had to stay in bed for a period of six months following the surgery.

Recently, Cowell talked about sinking into depression during his quarantine after the accident to The Sun.

“I considered therapy for the first time when I broke my back because I was very, very, very, low,” he had told the outlet.

“I felt very depressed because I didn’t know how to explain it to Eric,” Cowell added. “I couldn’t do all the things I wanted to with him. I wasn’t sure if I was going to be able to walk again, to ever play football with him.”
