Alicia Douvall has said that she ‘can’t remember too much’ about sleeping with Simon Cowell, despite her previous salacious revelations about their sex life.
The former glamour model, 46, claimed in her 2015 book, Don’t Call Me Ugly, that she had met the music mogul, 66, back in 2011 and had a passionate six-month affair.
She shared many intimate details about their romance, including that they once had sex 11 times in one night, before the relationship came to end when Simon tired of her like an ‘old toy’.
But now Alicia has admitted that despite once likening the X Factor star to Christian Grey, she actually has little memory about their affair.
Speaking about the infamous 11-times claim to Closer, she said: ‘That’s true, but, looking back, it wasn’t anything that I can remember too much about. I think at the time, I did have a good time – but I didn’t love myself.’
She has now moved on with businessman David Anstiss and the pair got engaged during a romantic getaway to the Maldives last year.
While not much else is known about her recent dating history, at the height of her fame Alicia enjoyed romances and did subsequent kiss and tell stories with the likes of Mick Hucknall, P Diddy, Mickey Rourke and Dean Gaffney, as well as Simon.

The Page 3 girl was also allegedly linked to John Terry, Fabien Barthez, Calum Best, Shaggy and Dane Bower, while she was engaged to Dennis Rodman.
While she claims that she is still in touch with some of her exes – though only ‘the ones that don’t hate her’ – Alicia also took a brutal swipe at her dating history, branding the men she’d previously dated as ‘narcissistic egomaniacs’.
Calling David her ‘best friend’, she said: ‘I’ve found love for the first time. I’ve stopped going for narcissistic egomaniacs who live shallow lives.’
Alicia previously dished the dirt on her relationship with Simon back in 2012, saying that during their romance he insisted she dress ‘really tarty’.
‘On the third of fourth date we ended up doing it 11 times in one night…’ she recounted to The Sun. ‘We started having sex and went on through the night. We slept a little bit in between but only for a few minutes.’
However, she later said in 2017 that Simon was still acting the Britain’s Got Talent judge role in the bedroom, recalling how he would rate her sexual efforts.
‘He would analyse my performance just like a judge on a TV show and say how there could be an improvement next time,’ she said.
Yet, Alicia compared him to the Fifty Shades series protagonist Christian Grey – the mercurial billionaire businessman with a fondness for BDSM, played by Jamie Dornan in the hit films.
She said: ‘[Simon] was just like Fifty Shades Lothario Christian Grey! He was sensitive but domineering.
‘He was really OCD like Christian. His wardrobe was immaculate with lots of the same items lined up.’

Alicia has undergone an incredible transformation in the years since, which has seen her go from surgery-loving party girl to owner of a natural beauty empire.
She has had more than 400 cosmetic procedures totalling to a self-estimated £1 million, but the former glamour model has had a jaw-dropping metamorphosis in recent years.
In the early Noughties Alicia was never far away from a headline and a wild party, known for her string of celeb boyfriends and her constant cycle of surgeries.
But after 18 boob jobs, 11 nose tweaks, bum implants and even having her ribs shaved down she gave up going under the knife and over the past decade has built a successful skincare brand, centered, ironically enough, around the ethos of natural anti-aging.
It’s quite the pivot for Alicia, now a mother of two, whose previous life ambition was to have the biggest boobs in Britain.
Born Sarah Howes (she changed her name to one more suited to glamour modelling), her father was a self-made millionaire and Tory councillor and she attended the prestigious Springfield Park School, Horsham, West Sussex.
But Alicia has admitted being sent to boarding school aged nine was the start of her issues with self-confidence and an obsession with her looks.
She would save up the pocket money sent to her by her parents and buy beauty products such as tanning tablets and hair dye.
In one of her most outlandish childhood stunts she even once, when she was just 11, had a sunbed shipped to the school.
Aged 17, and after being expelled, she had her first boob job after deciding to pursue glamour modelling, a decision based on the fact she was too short for catwalk work.
By the late 1990s she was a Page 3 girl, modelling for magazines and presenting on Playboy TV and earning £5000 a week.
She also boosted her bank balance and fame with a 2006 appearance on Love Island, where she made a six figure sum, despite lasting just one week in the villa.
But at the centre of the fame Alicia was addicted to cosmetic surgery, at one point having an enhancement every single week.

‘Apart from my daughter’s education, I spent nothing on anything but surgery. I ate beans on toast and never had a holiday. I even persuaded boyfriends to pay for operations,’ she told The Mail On Sunday in 2013.
‘Even when my daughter begged me to stop having surgery, I carried on. I was convinced the next operation was going to make everything OK, so I didn’t listen.’
The arrival of her second daughter Papaya in 2011 saw Alicia, who is also mum to Georgia, 30, vow to never go under the knife again, but she struggled to break free of her addiction.
She was diagnosed with body dysmorphic disorder (BDD), also called dysmorphia. A mental illness linked to anxiety and obsessive compulsive disorder, or OCD, sufferers obsess over their appearance and have a distorted perception of the way they look.
After 20 years of being known for her enhancements, she has reinvented herself as a spokesperson for aging naturally.
In 2011, she and her daughter launched Douvall’s beauty brand after discovering the benefits of cold-pressed argan oil on their skin.
Alicia, who once sparked outrage when she said she wouldn’t mind if her eldest daughter had plastic surgery too, launched the business with Georgia and invested all of her £20,000 savings.
And it’s paid off with the brand stocked in the likes of Sephora, and Superdrug in the UK and Walmart in the US.
