New Delhi, Feb 25 : Simon Cowell's recent remarks about planning to have his body frozen after he dies were purely tongue-in-cheek, says his spokeswoman.

Cowell said that he wants to have his body frozen so that one day technology could bring him back to life, reports the China Daily.

The cryogenics comment was trumpeted in a number of news reports as a serious plan by Cowell, a music industry executive and TV producer.

However, his rep, Lisa Dallos, said that the `American Idol' judge was just joking when he made the remark at a dinner in London two weeks ago with Gordon Brown and other guests. (ANI)
