Britain’s Got Talent viewers worried about Simon Cowell

Thousands of people were hoping to impress the judges with their talents and get that all-important golden buzzer.

Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden and Alesha Dixon were back on the judging panel with KSI, who has become a permanent judge following Bruno Tonioli’s exit.

However, viewers seemed somewhat worried about Mr Mean himself, Simon Cowell.

One viewer posted on X, formerly known as Twitter: “Seriously, what is going on with Simon Cowell? Looking like Tom Hanks in Philadelphia. Also what’s with the Bono glasses… #BGT”

Another said: “Genuine Question, with all the people who have been knighted in the UK some for ridiculous reasons. How the **** has Simon Cowell not been knighted? #BGT #Britiansgottalent”

Someone else noticed Cowell’s now signature glasses: “Simon Cowell makes me laugh in his Anastacia glasses”

The media mogul, 66, is one of the most famous faces on telly.

The dad-of-one has battled several health woes, including a bike crash, which nearly killed him and left him doubting if he would ever walk again.

Then last year, the star was forced to miss some of BGT’s auditions after falling ill when filming started in Birmingham, and he needed Stacey Solomon to step in for him.

Bruno Tonioli quits Britain’s Got Talent

In September, Bruno said in a statement: “After three incredible series, I’ve sadly had to walk away from a job which has opened my eyes to so much incredible talent and step down as a judge on BGT.

“And whilst I look forward to filming a new series of Dancing With The Stars in the US, I will miss the chaos and joy that BGT brings, as well as all the wonderful people I’ve had the privilege of working with.

“They truly are a brilliant team who make brilliant television, and I know KSI will be a fantastic judge too, as he’s already proven this year.”

Due to this, musician, YouTuber and boxer KSI was announced as Bruno’s permanent replacement as a judge on BGT, which will once again be hosted by Geordie duo Anthony McPartlin and Declan Donnelly.
