Knowing Simon, he will set out to be the BEST best man ever. The pop mogul, 54, got the news just after leaving the shows stage last Sunday and replied excitedly: Yes, of course.

The Sunday People can also reveal Simon is planing to lay on his private jet for a stag do in Ibiza and 12 of Pauls closest friends have had invitations.

A source close to Paul, who was previously engaged to author Clare Staples, said: He is over the moon. They are planning the wedding and it will take place in London in May.

The stag do is going to be a big one though, he didnt think he would ever marry so it is going to be huge. Simon is excited about the trip to Ibiza.

He couldnt be happier for Paul, he is one of his closest friends and he has seen him watch his friends marry over the past 20 years. Now its his turn.

Paul, who lives in Beverly Hills with Kate, made the news official on Friday when he invited a group of friends to Hollywood restaurant Al Bacia becoming tearful as he told them.

He proposed during a trip to San Francisco and has posted snaps from it on his Facebook page.
