At the time of filming, Simon caused quite a stir when he appeared in a video on Britain’s Got Talent on social media with a completely different look hours before taking the stage for the royal variety.

The TV judge recently revealed he had taken his love for Botox too far as his final treatment made him look like “something out of a horror show”.

According to The Sun, the talent show boss said he decided to quit when his odd appearance sent son Eric, eight, into hysteria.
