SIMON Cowell’s neighbour threatened to smash his luxury cars with a golf club during a row over parking.

The man angrily threatened to destroy the music mogul’s fleet of cars, which sit in front of his luxurious London home, and shouted he’d “had enough” of Simon’s behaviour during an incident last week.

The neighbour – whose anger was somewhat defused by the police – subsequent­ly told The Sun newspaper: “I wrote a sign on my door saying, ‘Please do not park in front of my house’ and they still did it. But I’m always unhappy with Cowell – he’s a t***.

“Who is he? Some prat – the X Factor guy? I lost my temper last night and I’ll do it again – do not park near my frontage. It happens every night.”

The row took place after Simon’s chauffeur was preparing to take the TV star to a Christmas party in his Rolls-Royce. A number of other vehicles also pulled up in front of the house of Simon’s neighbour, who then came storming out of his property.

In a video of the incident, the man – who is in his 50s – is seen hurling abuse towards Simon’s home.

Witness Will Lloyd said: “This bloke was facing Simon’s house screaming, ‘I have had enough of Simon Cowell! Who does he think he is? I’ll smash all these cars up.’”

Simon is said to have shrugged off the situation.
