Simon was livid when we told him there are internet conspiracy theories about why he teamed up with controversial journalist Mark Williams-Thomas — who exposed Jimmy Savile as a paedophile — to work on a TV series.
He replied angrily: “What you just said about a conspiracy about why I hired him, well let’s be clear here — I have a four-year-old son. He is all I care about.
“Like I said, I make these decisions now not on me, but my little boy. I think the crazy stuff, you’ve got to ignore.
“I first met Mark in 2015 off the back of Jinx the show on Netflix. There was an article about Jill Dando in a newspaper and I called the editor over there who introduced me to this guy Mark who'd written it.
"He and I discussed these crime things becoming more popular and we were going to initially do a series about who murdered Jill Dando.
"And then he came to me later and he said he'd heard of this interesting story, so we took it to ITV.
"Then the second one he did was a similar case. We made two series with him and that’s been my only dealings with him.
