Simon Cowell reportedly takes regular blasts of oxygen to maintain his youthful looks.

The X Factor judge allegedly carries a can of the element wherever he goes in a bid to keep the ageing process at bay.

The 52-year-old star feels the unconventional method calms him too.

"Simon knows he's not getting any younger and is trying every trick to tackle it,” a source told British newspaper The Sun.

"He says it helps him relax and keep the stress at bay."

Simon has admitted to using vitamin injections and Botox in the past.

Meanwhile, axed US X factor host Steve Jones has spoken out about the perils of fame.

The Welsh presenter was dropped from the hit TV talent show after the first season, along with judges Nicole Scherzinger and Paula Abdul.

Although Simon was involved in the decision, the star says there is no bad blood between the two.

"I have no hard feelings whatsoever towards Simon. It's a tough business and anyone trying to get into it should always keep in mind that it can go t*ts up in a heartbeat,” he said.

"I'd work with Simon on the moon if given the chance."
