Simon Cowell will reportedly meet his half-brother later today after 17 years apart.
Michael Bailey, 64, will meet with Cowell for the first time since 1993 following tonight's X Factor results show, according to the Sunday Mirror.
Speaking of the meeting, Bailey said: "I am really looking forward to seeing my brother again and having some time to talk properly. It is really exciting we can have this meeting and that he has set time aside for me.
"We have just recently got back in regular touch over the phone but I don't want to go into details. The only people who know the full story are Simon and I.
"I am pleased that he has arranged for me to go to the show. But The X Factor isn't really my cup of tea - I have joked that I will be taking a book and some headphones as the music isn't really my thing."
Julie, the pair's mother, split from Michael's father Bertram and later married Simon's dad Eric.
