Simon Cowell is going to be honoured on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce announced over the weekend that the music mogul is set to receive a star, along with three other British celebs.

The 57-year-old will acquire his star for recognition of his TV work and services to the music industry.

Among the coveted list that Simon is on is Sex Pistols star Steve Jones and Sir Richard Branson.

As well as Steve, Richard and Simon, US celebs such as Kirsten Dunst, Mark Hammill and Jennifer Lawrence will also be honoured.

The selection committee's chairman, Vin Di Bona, made the announcement, saying: "We look forward to their big day as the Walk of Fame Class of 2018 becomes cemented one by one on the most famous sidewalk in the world."

The Walk of Fame currently has 2,600 brass stars nested into pavements which run along Hollywood Boulevard and Vine Street.
