Simon Cowell caused quite a stir when fans were shocked by his “scary” appearance on the first episode of Saturday Night Takeaway.
The America’s Got Talent star was super noticeable as fans speculated he had some cosmetic work done recently. “Seriously, how much work has Simon Cowell had done?” one fan wrote on X (formerly Twitter). “He can’t move his face!!!”
Another fan pointed out that Cowell needed to sue his plastic surgeon as someone else pointed out he had “balloons for cheeks.”
A fellow observer went on to add, “I know it’s been said before but what has Simon done to his face and body? He looks plastic.”
Saturday Night Takeaway is notably a variety show that is presented by Anthony McPartin and Declan Donnelly. Deadline reported during his stance on the show, Simon Cowell discussed being successfully pranked while filming America’s Got Talent. He was eventually invited onto the stage by two masked magicians where he was locked in a steel box.
As Cowell waited to get out of the box, the only single key to the lock had been swallowed. As efforts to get the America’s Got Talent judge out of the box began, the two masked magicians revealed themselves to be McPartin and Donnelly.
Simon Cowell Previously Stated the Criticism About His Appearance Have Been ‘Hysterical’ To Him
While speaking to McPartin and Donnelly last summer, Simon Cowell spoke about the criticism he has received about his appearance over the years.
“I think its hysterical,” Cowell said, per The Sun. “I mean it just makes me laugh — I haven’t had a facelift or anything.”
Simon Cowell also said that he had “a bit” of Botox but nothing drastic. “So when I hear about this stuff honestly, it does make me laugh. Over the years people have said that I’ve had everything done. But I don’t Google myself so I genuinely don’t have a clue what everyone is saying about me until we do things like [Britain’s Got Talent].”
While speaking to The Sun in April 2022, Simon Cowell said he removed his face fillers. He noted the procedure was done after because he went “too far.”
“There was a stage where I might have gone a bit too far,” Cowell admitted at the time. “I saw a picture of me from ‘before’ the other day, and didn’t recognize it as me first of all.”
Simon Cowell further declared, “Enough was enough. There is no filler in my face at all now. Zero.”
