The X Factor judge looked delighted as a two-tier cream cake was carried over to him, accompanied by his son Eric and Terri Seymour's daughter Coco, who danced while singing Happy Birthday to the music mogul.

However, Eric was left surprised after being told that he wouldn't be able to eat any of the decadent treat.

"This is the second cake that you aren't allowed to eat," Eric's mum, Lauren Silverman, told the little boy. "We're not allowed?!" Eric exclaimed, before Lauren added: "Yes, we didn't think about that."

Despite not being able to have any of the cake, it looked like Eric still had a wonderful time celebrating his dad's birthday.
