Simon Cowell uses healing crystals around hospital bed after breaking his back

Simon Cowell has turned to the help of “powerful healing crystals” for a speedy recovery after breaking his back.

The Britain’s Got Talent judge is currently hospital-bound after falling off his electric bike and breaking his back in four places last week.

The 60-year-old underwent a six-hour operation to get him on his feet again following the freak accident, and is said to be “back up and walking and moving around again” faster than doctors predicted.

Now thankfully on the mend, Simon is praying for a quick recovery with the use of healing crystals, which he’s reportedly surrounded his hospital bed with.

The music mogul was gifted some crystals by his close pals, and hopes the medicine will have him on his way to full health.

“Two of his friends had searched out and delivered some powerful healing energy crystals which he has with him,” a source told The Sun.

“Most people wouldn’t put Simon down as having crystals but he and Lauren have them around their home.

“He’s in good spirits and his back is well on the mend.”

While he recovers in hospital, Simon has ditched his plant-based diet for meaty pies.

He’s being treated to his old favourite turkey cottage pie, made by girlfriend Lauren Silverman, and is turning to chocolate as he recuperates from the surgery.

Simon previously lost four stone from his veggie diet before his hospital trip.

A source exclusively told Mirror Online: “Lauren has been to the hospital to drop a few things off once each day. She has been making his favourite Italian bean soup and also cottage pie with turkey, which he loves.

“His diet is incredibly healthy but there’s nothing better than traditional English comfort foods and treats when you’re on the mend.”

The telly star used to binge on hamburgers, sausage rolls and jam tarts before starting a vegetarian and dairy-free diet.

It was revealed on Monday the star suffered a horrific accident after falling from his new Swind EB-01 bike at his Malibu home.

But he’s returning to work as soon as possible, according to reports.

The source continued: “Simon has been up walking and moving around again faster than doctors had predicted, although his friends are reminding him it’s important to heal before rushing back to work.”

Despite the fractures, he is expected to be discharged this week and has already been working from his hospital bed.

A source told MailOnline : “Simon has even been working yesterday and also today he’s been on emails on his iPad since early morning.

“He’s in good spirits and knows he had a lucky escape and that this could have been worse.”

Mirror Online has contacted Simon’s rep for comment.
