The trio graced the red carpet at Hotel Dena on Tuesday, September 3, before the show commenced. In the photos, Simon was all smiles as he was accompanied by his family. The music tycoon looked ecstatic as he posed for snaps, with one photo showing him with a protective arm around Eric, while in another he gave two thumbs up to the camera.
For the event, the 64-year-old kept it simple, donning a charcoal grey t-shirt paired with blue jeans and black shoes. Meanwhile, young Eric mirrored his dad's style in a white t-shirt and jeans, but sported trendy black and white trainers.

The show is rumoured to kick off in February, earlier than its typical April start date, and aims to capture our attention for four months instead of the usual two. A trip to Blackpool for the series was previously hinted at.
An insider leaked to The Sun: "Strictly's annual jaunt to Blackpool is one of the show's 'special moments' and is widely seen as a milestone for the contestants."

The source continued, suggesting a bit of a TV showdown: "But now that trip will be replicated by its ITV rival, there's little doubt they're trying to encroach on their territory. It's yet another move to take on the dominance of Strictly on Saturday night telly."
In response to the swirling rumours, a BGT spokesperson assured OK!: "Scheduling will be announced in due course."
Just earlier this year, fans witnessed Sydnie Christmas clinching the coveted title of this year's Britain's Got Talent champion, sweeping up 27 per cent of the public vote. Her victory was not just about prestige but came with a hefty £250,000 cash prize and the opportunity to grace the Royal Variety Performance stage later in the year.
