Fans baffled by Simon Cowell’s ‘new look’ at BGT auditions

Maybe it was just the light?!

Simon Cowell has baffled some fans with his appearance at the Britain’s Got Talent auditions on Friday.

Fans questioned if Simon Cowell had undergone any cosmetic surgery, with some even saying he looked like a wax figure “in Madame Tussauds”.

The photos that got everyone talking were from the London Palladium, where auditions have started for the new series of the ITV reality show.

Perplexed fans on Twitter rushed to comment on the TV judge’s ‘new’ face, with one writing: “OMG!! what has Simon done to his face??!!”

A second tweeted: “What has Simon Cowell done to his face! Looks weird!” while a third wrote: “What’s with @SimonCowell’s face? Looks uncomfortable.”

The 59-year-old, who posed alongside his co-judges, David Walliams, Amanda Holden and Alesha Dixon – as well as reunited presenters Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly – was also bombarded with new lookalikes.
