Simon Cowell has recently sparked concern with his unrecognizable face in a promotional video for Britain’s Got Talent.
But the 63-year-old music and TV mogul seemed to be in good spirits as he appeared live on television and discussed his new business venture with former X Factor star Lucy Spraggan.
But This Morning viewers were left distracted by his appearance, with one person taking to Twitter and writing: “What has happened to Simon Cowell?! I can’t process what I’m looking at?! #ThisMorning.”
Another wrote: “So shady of #ThisMorning to show footage of what Simon Cowell used to look like while they have him on the couch.”
A third said: “Errrrmmmmm who is this person pretending to be Simon Cowell??! #ThisMorning.”
Someone else tweeted: “Simon looking even more like a melted waxwork than before #ThisMorning.”
Explaining about his partnership with Lucy, Simon said: “I have my own publishing company where I sign writers and about two years ago we met up and I said apart from being a great artist she is a brilliant songwriter, so I said I wanted to publish her songs…”
Simon continued: “Great songs are like great paintings, but then Lucy played me this demo called Balance and I always remember where I am when I hear a great song for the first time and it’s the best feeling in the world… and I’m obsessed with this song by the way!”
“And now in my life you have to do something you’re passionate about, and this is something I’m super super passionate about. The song is so relevant to what is going around in the world right now, it’s a great message.”
Before the audience heard details about the new partnership of Simon and 2012 contestant Lucy, a video of Simon’s first TV appearance being a judge on This Morning was played.
After seeing the video, Simon covered his face with his hand and said: “Oh no…” before admitting that it was a little bit embarrassing.
“I’ve gone very red,” he expressed.
