London, Nov 19 : American Idol judge Simon Cowell has revealed that it was his girlfriend who dumped him by sending a text message.

Cowell has made the revelation in a bizarre TV interview with his ex-girlfriend Terri Seymour.

The 49-year-old star was speaking with Terri Seymour, 34, about the end of their six-year relationship on a TV show.

In the show, Terri, who is a TV showbiz correspondent, even asked the reality show guru for dating advice.

“I did not dump you,” The Sun quoted her as claiming on the US show.

But Cowell replied: “You sent me a text.”

Simon denied the reports claiming that she gave Terri 2.3million pounds plus a Beverly Hills home worth the same.

When asked if he gave her 5million pounds, Simon said: “No, that is not a true story.”

The estranged pair has told Extra TV that they still speak every day.

Terri has been linked to actor Stephen Dorff. (ANI)
