Louis Walsh claims Simon Cowell is “too skinny” now

Simon recently shed 20lbs after following a strict vegan diet

Louis Walsh has taken a sly dig at Simon Cowell’s “new face” (of course he has!).

Simon, 59, recently showed off his dramatic transformation after losing 20lbs on a strict vegan diet.

And cheeky X Factor co-star Louis, 67, has joked that Simon’s latest look is definitely an improvement on last year – though reckons he’s lost too much weight.

“Sharon Osbourne’s got a new face. Simon’s got a new face,” Louis joked. “It’s brilliant, he obviously looks after himself a lot. He looked terrible last year. He did, let’s be honest.”

Louis added that he’s less impressed by all the weight he’s shed since going on the diet.

“He’s lost an awful lot of weight, he looks too skinny now,” Louis told The Sun.

Like Sharon, Simon has been open about his love of Botox in the past and previously revealed he had splashed out £2,000 on a procedure that gets rid of sagging skin on your face and neck.

“There’s lots of things you can do now. You don’t just have to stuff your face with filler and Botox,” Simon said last year.

“It hurts like hell but it gets rid of sun damage and unplugs all the [expletive]. For me now, it’s all about having clean skin. If you have clean skin, you look better. But you have to be very careful with some of this stuff.”

While the music mogul has made no secret of the fact he likes to experiment with different procedures, he previously admitted he once overdid it with the Botox.

The dad-of-one said at the time: “Hopefully I look better now – I probably did have a little too much Botox a couple of years ago, because everyone on TV has it.

“Now I have facials, but nothing too extravagant at the moment. I have a girl who comes here and does a great face massage – it’s very relaxing.

“I also had a sheep placenta facial once, which was quite out there. Then Sinitta recommended I try another detoxifying machine, and this thing turned up in my bedroom and it was like something out of Dr Who. It was like a spaceship had landed in my bedroom,” Simon added.
