Simon Cowell struggling with TV workload

31 March 2009 

Music mogul SIMON COWELL finds life as a international TV star exhausting - he is considering cutting down his gruelling schedule of filming back-to-back reality shows.
 
The American Idol judge spends many months a year on the show, as well as jetting over to his native U.K. for his other TV projects The X Factor and Britain’s Got Talent.
 
Cowell also runs his own record label and production company in between giving reality contestants his opinion on the TV shows.
 
But the heavy workload is taking its toll on the star, and he admits, “Something may have to give.”
 
In an interview with Britain's The Sun newspaper, Cowell says, “Last year was tough and I really felt it around about the end of the year. There’s a lot of pressure that comes with making the shows, running the record label and running the TV production company.

“I got to the point where I was doing Idol, finishing auditions, getting room service at 10pm and then working for another six or seven hours on the British stuff. You do that week after week, month after month and it takes its toll on you.”
