Walking into a gentleman's club with £4000 worth of £50 notes in his pocket, the average man doesn't have deep and meaningful conversations on his mind.

But rather than splashing out on lap dances during his night out at Stringfellows in London this week, Simon Cowell preferred to pay the ladies to sit down and have a nice chat with him at his table.

The X Factor supremo, 52, refused all offers of private performances from the bevy of attentive beauties surrounding his VIP tables, the Sunday Mirror reports.

Good night then? Simon Cowell is pictured emerging from Stringfellows at 4am last week, where it is claimed he 'spent £4000 for dancers to sit and chat to him'

'He had a huge wad of cash with him and a big smile on his face. He must have spent at least £4000 on just talking to the girls,' a source claimed to the paper.

The music mogul and his friend Rav Singh splashed out on two £300 bottles of Grey Goose vodka and dozens of bottles of Sapporo beer, the Mirror claims.

Cowell emerged from the famous venue at 4am with a cheeky grin on his face as he realised he had been seen.

Carrying nothing but his mobile phone and a pack of menthol cigarettes, Simon headed straight from the club to his waiting car.

Dressed as casually as ever in a pair of jeans and a plain black jumper the star seemed in good spirits as he made his way home.

He was joined by former News of the World showbiz editor Rav Singh, and the old friends parted ways after being turfed out of the venue at closing time.

Simon has always managed to maintain a good relationship with his ex-girlfriends including Sinitta, Terri Seymour, and Jackie St Clair.
