Stephen, 41, appeared on Lorraine with Christine Lampard earlier today to tease what’s coming on Britain’s Got Talent.
Ahead of that, the spin-off presenter confessed Simon Cowell has mellowed slightly since the ITV show began.
He believes this is partly to do with the birth of Simon’s first child, Eric.
And Stephen revealed he often does magic tricks for the music mogul’s son.
He recounted: “He’s a mini Simon.
“Simon calls me Stevie… he said, ‘Stevie, show Eric a magic trick’
“This is what I showed him. I said to Eric, ‘Look, there’s a 50p coin, watch the coin and it’s gone…’
“And then I made it reappear. What did Eric say? He said, ‘Can I keep it?’
“Like father like son!” Stephen giggled.
He went on to laugh: “I did give it to him. Afterwards I was like, ‘Why am I giving you 50p?’
“‘I think you’re going to be alright!’” Stephen exclaimed!
Meanwhile, Stephen told Express.co.uk Piers Morgan would never return to the Britain’s Got Talent line-up.
The Good Morning Britain host revealed earlier this year he wanted to make a comeback.
Piers, 52, would remove David Walliams from the judging panel to make space for him on it.
However, Stephen explained he will never return.
He laughed: “No way. Of course he did!
“Reality of this is I can’t see them changing the panels for quite a long time.
“David is constantly on fire, the girls get on incredibly well and also Simon and David’s relationship – I thought when it first started there was the best and the jokes about the romance and I thought how long is it going to last but they’re like brothers.
“It’s a great relationship and as long as that stays like that then simon won’t change it for a long time because it just works.”
Britain’s Got Talent returns to ITV tomorrow night at 8pm.
