Simon Cowell wants scientists to freeze his body when he passes away.

The X Factor judge, 49, reckons doctors will be able to revive him with future technology.

‘I've decided to have myself frozen when I die,’ Simon told Prime Minister Gordon Brown at a Downing Street dinner.

‘You know, cryonics. You pay a load of money and you get stuck in a deep-freeze once you've been declared dead.

‘Medical science is bound to work out a way of bringing us back to life in the next century or so and I want to be available when they do.’
