Taking a tab: Cowell is seen with a cigarette - and so is his fiancée, Mezghan Hussiany, who was thought to be a non-smoker
He may be a multi-million music mogul workaholic, but every now and again Simon Cowell likes to unwind.
Last night the X Factor guru enjoyed a meal with his fiancée, Mezhgan Hussainy, at London celebrity hotspot Cipriani.
His wife-to-be looked stunning in a dark green dress, and as the pair pulled away from the Mayfair restaurant it appeared that Mezghan, who has been engaged to the 51-year-old for 12 months, appeared to take a cigarette from her man.
The pair met on the set of American Idol and, while Cowell is known to smoke, Miss Hussainy is thought to be a non-smoker.
The couple are seldom seen together, but they looked to be having a whale of a time at the plush restaurant.
Perhaps Simon's bad habit is beginning to be taken up by her?

Meanwhile, reports are rife that both Cowell and Cheryl Cole will quit the British version of the hit programme X Factor so they can concentrate on the American show.
The pair are the two biggest names in the UK judging panel line-up, but the rumours that they are willing to ply their trade across the Atlantic has shocked ITV bosses.
They fear millions of views of the popular show will switch over, never to return.
It also leaves fellow judges Louis Walsh and Dannii Minogue, who offer an entertaining foil for Cowell and Cole, in a vulnerable position.
