The Irish hypnotist is planning to reach out to the music mogul next year as he'd really like to work with him in a bid to kick his smoking habit once and for all.

Speaking exclusively to BANG Showbiz, he said: "I'd like to work with Simon Cowell as I know he's tried to give up cigarettes, and he's had troubles. I know Gemma Collins lost two stone with hypnosis, I'd like to get her down to another six or seven stone.

"I'm gonna get Louis (Walsh), I've known him for a long long time, to reach out to Simon Cowell to see if he wants me help giving up cigarettes once and for all."

But Jason doesn't just work on helping people beat their demons as he's also keen to reach out to Louis Tomlinson following the recent tragic death of his mother Johannah.

He explained: "The young guy out of One Direction (Louis Tomlinson) who recently lost his mum, my training helps people dealing with cancer and their families."

Jason has also worked with the likes of Bono and Pierce Brosnan and has come to realise that the "more famous" they are, the more "messed up" they seemed to be.

He said: "For 10 years my career was to interview the biggest celebrities. I would have relationships with formula one drivers like Eddie Irvine, Pierce Brosnan and Bono and people like that for a long long time. My clients that I can't say for confidential reasons, but they are the people that you would read about in the UK would be using similar people like me, for a fear of flying, obesity, smoking and things like that in the celeb world. The more famous people are, the more messed up they seem to be sadly."
