Lauren Silverman has revealed that she bans her 12-year-old son Eric and his friends from having phones when socialising at their home.
The beauty, 48, shares Eric with music mogul Simon Cowell, 66, and recently was vocal in supporting the government's ban on social media access for under 16s.
Now in a new Instagram post she has revealed her family's smartphone rule saying her stance 'might make her an unpopular mum'.
She penned: 'This has the potential to make me the least popular mum in my son's friendship group...
'No phones during playdates. No devices in bedrooms at sleepovers. Just kids being kids. What if we made this the new normal? The age limit may be changing but culture changes at home. Imagine the playdates once again meant riding bikes, playing football, swimming, baking, exploring outdoors, hanging out and talking.
