If Simon could turn back the clocks, he’d do things differently.
Simon Cowell has revealed his “biggest regret” from his days of managing One Direction.
The music mogul appeared on the podcast Diary Of A CEO and spoke very candidly about his life and career to date.
Host Steven Bartlett asked the 64-year-old if he reckons One Direction will ever get back together and he answered, "I doubt it".
“The one thing I regret is I should have owned the name,” he said. “They own the name. I could have made an animation or something.”
"So if you're listening One Direction then I will buy it back from you!" he joked.
