Simon Cowell has shared a rare picture of his lookalike son Eric, 11, as they filmed backstage at America’s Got Talent ahead of the show’s quarter finals.

The business mogul, 65, appeared in happy spirits as he posed alongside his child, who he shares with fiancée Lauren Silverman, 48, and his pet chihuahua, Daisy.

Sharing an album of snaps to Instagram, Simon wore a black T-shirt while his son sported a bright blue jersey which had the show’s named printed across the front.

In another snap, Simon can be seen sat on a directors chair backstage while he  spoke to a camera.

Alongside his album, the show judge penned: ‘Everyone’s happy’.

The show, which is being judged by Simon, Howie Mandel, Mel B and Sofia Vergara  saw three more people progress into September’s semi final.

During Tuesday’s second quarterfinal, the live results revealed Bay Melnick Virgolino, the 10-year-old rock and blues guitarist, Leo High School Choir and dance troupe Unreal would go through.

This meant the journey to stardom ended for Duo Stardust, Ben Hightower, Alain Simonov, Alex Zinger, Jonglissimo, Boston Dynamics and EDT Dance Team.

The artists that move ahead in NBC’s talent competition will return to the stage on 16, September to compete in the top 12.

They will be joined by the three acts that won America’s vote last week, Jourdan Blue, LightWire, and Sirca Mare.

The remaining six will be determined during the next two weeks of competition as the live shows continue.

So far, one act has been guaranteed a place in the final after singer Mama Duke won Mel B’s Golden Buzzer.

Simon and Lauren, who is also a mother to another child from a previous relationship, welcomed Eric into the world in February 2014.

Eric appeared on one of his father’s shows in 2020 as he was spotted at Britain’s Got Talent.

Earlier this year, Simon revealed his biggest fear for his son Eric in an emotional This Morning interview.

The showbusiness veteran appeared on the ITV show and spoke to Jeff Brazier, 46, about being a dad.

As the youngster continues to get older, there is one topic that Simon worries about as a father – his son having a mobile phone.

Simon told Jeff: ‘I’m very worried Jeff about how much kids can see at a certain age. I grew up…

‘Which was learning things at the right time, the right age, etcetera etcetera. I just would be petrified of him having access to anything, that would really worry me.’

‘We’re getting to a point where the word phone comes up. I’m very worried, about how much kids can see at a certain age,’ he added.

‘I grew up, learning things at the right time, the right age. I just would be petrified of him having access to anything, that would really worry me.’
