Simon Cowell, 61, looks carefree as he enjoys jet ski ride in Barbados after breaking his back

Simon Cowell enjoyed a lavish boat trip and jet ski ride with his partner Lauren Silverman and son Eric, six, in Barbados on Saturday.

The music mogul, 61, looked relaxed and carefree as he explored the crystal blue waters of the Caribbean island just four months after breaking his back in bike accident.

In August, Simon was rushed to hospital to undergo six hours of surgery after breaking his back in an electric bike accident, forcing him to cancel all his planned TV work for the rest of the year.

The X Factor boss proved he was well on the road to recovery as he stood on a jet ski to zip around the Caribbean Sea with glamorous partner Lauren, 43, who wore a black strapless bikini. 

Simon, who shed 4st weight loss after adopting a vegan diet and overhauling his exercise earlier this year, displayed his svelte physique in a pair of green swimming trunks.

The music mogul and Lauren made sure to protect themselves out into the ocean as they both wore life jackets or the jet ski excursion, he was later seen getting on the watercraft with son Eric. 

Simon also enjoyed a lavish boat trip where he appeared relaxed and carefree as he soaked up the sun with Lauren and their son Eric.

The X Factor boss was seen pulling a series of animated faces, no doubt in a bid to amuse his young son during the festive family getaway.

Lauren looked effortlessly glamorous as she wore a stylish black bikini with a strapless top and high-waisted bottoms.
