Simon Cowell<\/a>\u2019s new boy band December 10 have lifted the lid on what it\u2019s really like being mentored by the music mogul – and it turns out their catch\u2011ups now happen over burgers at his place.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

December 10 have opened up on their bond with boss Simon Cowell<\/p>\n

The much-hyped boy band – comprising Nicolas Alves, Danny Bretherton, Josh Olliver, Hendrik Christoffersen, Sean Hayden, John Fadare and Cruz Lee-Ojo – was founded by the music mogul on the Netflix series Simon Cowell<\/a>: The Next Act.<\/p>\n

The group have already notched up some impressive early milestones, pulling in over 16 million streams, 8.4 million YouTube views, and amassing a social following topping 3.2 million. They\u2019ve also secured 50,000 mailing\u2011list sign\u2011ups, marking the fastest fanbase growth ever recorded within Universal Music Group.<\/p>\n

Their debut single Run My Way cemented December 10 as far more than a standard boy band launch. The track blasted into the Top 10 of the Official UK best\u2011selling vinyl singles of 2026, signalling a breakout moment that put the industry firmly on alert.<\/p>\n

Opening up about the surreal experience so far, the lads revealed they\u2019re in constant contact with Simon, who recently invited them round to his home for a laid\u2011back barbecue where business talk mixed with downtime. <\/p>\n

\nBut anyone picturing Cowell in an apron flipping sausages can think again.<\/p>\n

\nIn an interview with ContactMusic.com, Danny shut down the idea of Simon manning the grill.<\/p>\n

\nDanny laughed: \u201cNah!\u201d<\/p>\n

\nSean quickly added the truth: \u201cWe had chef Jeff to do that!\u201d<\/p>\n

\nBetween bites, the group say they\u2019ve been soaking up every bit of wisdom they can from the man behind some of the biggest pop careers of the last two decades.<\/p>\n

\nNicholas explained: \u201cSimon\u2019s had so many years in this industry and he has so much experience, so every opportunity we get to spend time with him he\u2019s always imparting his wisdom upon us. We\u2019re really lucky to have him by our side.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nDecember 10 – who have just dropped their latest single Infinity (123) – will be hitting the stage at Wembley Stadium for Capital’s Summertime Ball on June 6.<\/p>\n

\nAnd they\u2019re also keeping their fingers crossed for a run\u2011in with Niall Horan \u2014 another boy band alum shaped by Simon Cowell\u2019s empire.<\/p>\n

\nJosh said: “That would be insane because Niall has had a similar journey to us, so it would be so fun to listen to all his stories.”<\/p>\n

\nSean chimed in: “I want to meet RAYE. She is really talented.”<\/p>\n

\nNicholas added: “I want to meet Jason Derulo, his TikToks always come up on my for you page.”<\/p>\n

\nStream Infinity (123) on all major platforms now. Head to www.december10.com\/tour for all their tour dates.<\/p>\n
