Simon Cowell once again sparked cosmetic surgery speculation, as fans thought he looked totally unrecognizable when he made an appearance on U.K. entertainment show Ant & Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway on Saturday, February 24th.
The 64-year-old music mogul appeared on the first episode of the brand new series, which is hosted by his longtime friends Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly – but fans couldn’t focus on anything other than his frozen appearance. Has he had even more Botox and fillers after previously swearing off them (and then seemingly getting them again?) Or has he gone one step further and gone under the knife?! We can’t say for sure, but the change in his appearance was impossible to ignore!
Simon Cowell Looks Unrecognizable On UK Show
On the show, the America's Got Talent judge was pranked several times by hosts Ant and Dec in their famous 'Undercover' segment. This marks the second time he has been targeted by the presenting duo, as they previously pranked him in their first ever show back in 2003, while he was a judge on American Idol.
This time around, Cowell was interrupted on his bike ride in Los Angeles by a fake police officer, who accused him of breaking a series of fake rules, including the color of his bike not adhering to the Malibu color regulations.
He was pranked again on America's Got Talent, as the pair posed as two magicians who asked Cowell to get involved in their magic act. Their act hilariously 'went wrong' which resulted in Cowell being trapped in a box, before the pair revealed it was all a prank.
"It was even sweeter getting him the second time round because we also got him during his downtime as he's riding his bike around Malibu. It's very, very funny," Ant said, according to the Daily Mail. Dec added: "We've gone back and got Simon Cowell again. We went out to LA and gave him the day from hell whilst he was judging on America's Got Talent."
Fan Reactions To Simon Cowell's Appearance
As expected, fans took to social media to comment on the Britain's Got Talent judge's appearance. "Simon Cowell doesn't look like Simon Cowell anymore," noted one fan on X, as another asked: "Is that definitely Simon Cowell? He looks like a melting Ken Doll?"
"Simon Cowell looks like a puppet whose strings need tightening," criticized another X user, as another said in apparent disbelief: "What has Simon Cowell done to his face? That's not Simon it can't be."
"Simon Cowell appears to have melted," wrote another X user. "Simon Cowell looks more and more like a cartoon every time I see him," quipped another fan, as another exclaimed: "Not sure Simon Cowell has aged gracefully!" "Simon Cowell's plastic surgeon needs sacking," slammed another.
"Simon Cowell looks like a Shein version of himself," joked another X user, followed by the crying laughing emoji, as another concurred writing: "Is that a Temu version of Simon Cowell?" "Simon Cowell's face looks so scary these days," someone else said, which many others agreed with. "Simon Cowell's face is a nightmare," agreed another. "Has Simon Cowell's waxwork from Madame Tussauds come to life?!" questioned another user.
