London
(ANI):
Music
mogul
Simon
Cowell
has
been
granted
permission
to
park
his
Rolls
Royce
anywhere
in
Britain,
a
privilege
that
is
usually
given
only
to
the
Queen.
Cowell
insisted
that
his
200,000
pounds
car
should
be
outside
every
theatre
during
auditions
for
ITV's
Britain's
Got
Talent,
and
his
driver
Tony
constantly
at
the
wheel.
In
order
to
achieve
his
requests,
the
producers
had
to
beg
councils
up
and
down
the
country
for
special
permission,
just
so
he
wouldn't
be
mobbed
by
admirers.
It
would
seem
that
they
are
trying
to
go
out
of
their
way
to
please
Cowell,
as
officials
in
Birmingham
have
even
agreed
to
dig
up
concrete
bollards
to
let
him
park
on
the
pavement
outside
the
Alexandra
Theatre.
So
enthralled
are
they
by
Cowell's
presence
that
when
the
show
went
to
Hackney
Empire,
East
London,
TV's
"Mr
Nasty" was
allowed
to
use
the
mayor's
parking
spot,
which
has
a
special
reservation
sign
on
it.
"Simon
likes
to
get
his
own
way
and
was
adamant
that
Tony
should
be
able
to
park
the
Roller
right
outside
every
theatre,"
The
Sun
quoted
a
show
insider
as
saying.
"He
hates
walking
anywhere
and
the
idea
of
being
mobbed
fills
him
with
fear.
So
we
contacted
all
the
relevant
councils
and
asked
them
if
they
could
make
a
special
dispensation.
The
producers
sorted
it
out
verbally
on
the
phone.
Simon
doesn't
have
a
special
sticker
or
anything.
It
wasn't
always
easy
as
only
the
Queen
and
senior
members
of
the
Royal
Family
get
to
park
wherever
they
like.
"But
I
think
many
of
the
councils
were
grateful
that
Britain's
Got
Talent
was
coming
to
their
town
so
they
helped
us
out.
It
was
only
for
a
few
days
at
a
time," the
insider
added.
