Music mogul Simon Cowell thought he would never marry because he is "selfish and weird" but says his fiancée Mezhgan Hussainy has changed him.

Cowell admits Hussainy has "softened" him when it comes to his demanding lifestyle, reports digitalspy.co.uk.

"Mish has softened me. She's helped me see the world differently. She has knocked my socks off. I'd never been good at relationships. I never thought I'd be with one person — now I think I will," he said.

"I genuinely believed no one would want to marry me. I am difficult to live with. I'm selfish, quite weird, and I need time on my own to think — and then I work all night long. For instance, I'll start viewing tapes at 10 o'clock at night, phone London and have conversations for hours and finish at 4.30 in the morning.

"Doing these shows is relentless. When the ratings come in you're happy for five minutes, then insecure madness comes in, and you worry about next week. The minute I think we can't do better, I'm out," he added.
