Looks like someone forgot the X Factor 30, Simon ...

Cowell’s galloping case of sunburn as he toasts Derby Day with Piers

BEAMING in brilliant sunshine, a red-faced Simon Cowell poses for the cameras at the Epsom Derby with girlfriend Lauren Silverman and some celebrity friends – after forgetting to use sunscreen.

The music mogul hosted a box for pals, including Piers Morgan and his wife Celia Walden, at the horse race yesterday. After wearing a mask earlier in the day, he later revealed his sunburned face.

Friends of Cowell, 61, say he picked up the painful sunburn last week while sitting in the garden of his Holland Park mansion without wearing sun protection lotion.

One said: ‘It is incredibly sore for him. He had been working outside and decided to sit in the sun rather than the shade. He didn’t put any cream on until it was too late.’

However, The X Factor tycoon didn’t let that stop him from smiling yesterday as he was joined by Ms Silver man, who was dressed in a £2,100 cream Dolce & Gabbana dress for the day out with the couple’s son Eric, eight, her son Adam, 15, from her relationship with Andrew Silverman, and their nanny.

Mail on Sunday columnist Morgan, 56, posted a picture of himself with the couple, along with Ms Walden, 45, writing: ‘Derby Day! Simon and I are backing these two well-fancied fillies...’

Cowell put hi s money on favourite Bolshoi Ballet in the day’s big race, but the horse was unplaced, leaving the businessman out of pocket.

Meanwhile, Morgan shared the bad luck, taking to Twitter to complain that he had ‘blown his stack’ and was hoping to recoup his losses with Bolshoi Ballet too.

After he lost, the former Good Morning Britain host added: ‘Stack further blown. I’m blaming our suite’s expert tipster @clarebalding.’

It is the first time Cowell has been to the races for around 15 years. He previously enjoyed going with his former girlfriend, the 1980s pop singer Sinitta.

However, since returning to the UK last month after a spell in Los Angeles, Cowell and Ms Silverman, 43, have been making the most of the London social scene.

‘It’s incredibly sore… he didn’t put on any cream’
