The boss, who injured his head after falling down the stairs in October, admitted he had fainted due to low blood pressure.
He vowed to start 'taking good care of himself' from now on, for the sake of his son Eric, three.
Simon admitted the horrific fall had reminded him he was not 'invincible', and that he has a 'responsibility' to take control of his health as a father.

Speaking about the incident later, he admitted: 'Sometimes we get a reminder that we're not invincible and this was certainly mine.'
'It was a huge shock. They think I fainted because I had low blood pressure and so I have got to really take good care of myself to sort that out. After all I am a dad and have more responsibility than ever.'
Explaining how the fall had happened, he added: 'I'd gone to get some hot milk because I felt ropey. On the way back upstairs, I just remember feeling really dizzy.'
'Next thing I know someone was putting a neck brace on me and I had a terrible headache, which must have been from me hitting the stairs.'

Mother-of-two Lauren commanded attention with her enviable figure in the green one-piece, which tightly hugged her frame all the way down.
Pulling into halterneck straps, the swimsuit then dipped into a deep plunge at the chest, to give a glimpse of her ample cleavage underneath.
Rising high at her hip, the swimwear then left most of her long and slender legs on show as she enjoyed a walk along the coast.

Eric seemed to have very much taken to the water as he showed off impressive swimming strokes for his age.

Simon looked healthy and happy as he stepped out with Lauren and their adorable son for their first family trip to the beach on Monday.
The media boss has owned a property on the picturesque Eastern Caribbean island for a number of years, and often joins his family a few days later for the winter festivities.
In 2013, it was revealed Simon had been in a relationship with his then-best friend Andrew Silverman's wife Lauren, after pictures emerged of them kissing on a yacht.
The pair then welcomed their son - a half-sibling for Lauren's eldest son Adam, 11, from her previous marriage - in February 2014, and named him after Simon's late father, who died in 1999.

While he is now closer than ever with his little boy, Simon confessed last year that he had struggled to form a bond with the tot after he first arrived.
Yet, Simon later admitted to the Daily Star that the pair were now closer than ever - with Eric even confiding in him about his seemingly hectic love life.
The producer joked to the paper: 'I think he has my charm with the ladies. I asked him the other day how many girlfriends he's got and I think he's got five currently, so he's doing OK.'
In October, Simon was forced to miss the opening X Factor show after he fell down a flight of stairs during the night and fainted, injuring his head.
