'I'm a single man': Simon Cowell confirms he's split from Carmen Electra... and admits he wants to find a girlfriend
They've not been pictured together for weeks, so it may come as no surprise to some fans that Simon Cowell has confirmed he's split from Carmen Electra.
The music mogul revealed he was dating the model in December.
But now he has opened up about his love life to reveal he is now back on the market - and on the look out.
Back on the market: Simon Cowell has revealed he's no longer dating Carmen Electra... and is keen to find a new girlfriend
He told the Sunday People: 'I'm no a single man. We spent time together and she is so much fun. But I'd like to find a girlfriend.'
The 53-year-old added that he particularly likes British women but doesn't have his eye on anyone in particular.
The X Factor USA judge was spotted on numerous dates with Carmen during the latter part of 2012 and two months ago admitted he was smitten with the 40-year-old beauty.
Simon opened up to Ryan Seacrest about their budding romance, saying: 'She's not my girlfriend. We're people who date. She's adorable, isn't she?'

Carmen, who was once married to basketball star Dennis Rodman and rocker Dave Navarro, previously revealed she had fallen for the British millionaire after she filled in as a guest judge on Britain's Got Talent.
She said: 'He's so cute. He is adorable. He's actually a sweetheart... I really liked him. I think he's really cool.
'Now, obviously, he's in [Los Angeles] with X Factor and we started to hang out and we became friends ... I think he's a great guy.'
Simon's last relationship prior to that was with makeup artist Mezhgan Hussainy, whom he broke off his engagement from last year.

And he has admitted it is his hectic jet set lifestyle which gets in the way of his relationships.
He added to the Sunday People: 'I'm happy but I would like a girlfriend.'
Simon and Carmen were first spotted enjoying a flirtatious dinner at Los Angeles restaurant Cecconi's in September.
An onlooker said at the time: 'They were getting very cosy. They were holding hands and staring into each other's eyes - and then they started making out.
'They were with other friends at the restaurant but didn't seem to mind.'
Cowell is currently in Britain until June filming Britain's Got Talent.
