Simon Cowell is planning to do the world an “invaluable service” by having his body frozen after his demise. The acid-tongued music mogul hopes he can be brought back to life in the future to torment aspiring singers to more heavy-handed criticism.

At a private dinner hosted by Britain’s Prime Minister Gordon Brown, Simon told guests that he plans to have his body preserved in liquid nitrogen.

“I have decided to freeze myself when I die. You know, cryonics. You pay a lot 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. I would be doing the nation an invaluable service.”
