In recent weeks, there have been reports circulating about Simon Cowell's absence from Britain's Got Talent. Speculation arose regarding a possible 'mystery illness' that had caused the famous talent judge to miss some filming days. However, according to a source close to Cowell, these reports are far from the truth, as the television personality is in 'fantastic health' and continues to work diligently.
Approximately two weeks ago, Cowell had to leave the filming early due to a severe migraine. He missed about 15 minutes of the show and the final two auditions for the day. However, he was back on set the very next morning and continued filming for the remainder of the week. In fact, he is poised to begin filming in Manchester today.
According to the source, Cowell occasionally experiences migraines when exposed to the intense filming lights for long periods. While his signature tinted glasses offer some relief, the bright lights can still trigger migraines. The insider clarified that any rumors suggesting an 'illness' or Cowell's departure from the show are baseless and greatly exaggerated.
Contrary to these rumors, the source affirms that Cowell is currently in excellent health. In fact, he is said to be in better shape than ever and actively engages in physical activities like biking and walking daily. Additionally, he has started practicing reformer Pilates to strengthen his back. These lifestyle choices reflect his commitment to fitness and overall well-being.
Addressing the concerns about his health, Cowell also took to Instagram to provide an explanation. He shared a photo of himself wearing his trademark orange-tinted glasses and humorously likened his appearance to that of a fly. Cowell clarified that he had missed two auditions due to migraines, which are a known side effect of spending long hours under the bright filming lights. He assured his followers that he is looking forward to filming Britain's Got Talent in Manchester the following week.
Cowell has been spotted wearing tinted glasses for several months now, which he initially mentioned to reporters last November. During an event for America's Got Talent: Fantasy League, he enthused about the benefits of his glasses, mentioning how they cut out blue light emitted from computers and tablets. Given the bright lights he encounters while filming, the glasses help alleviate some of the strain.
As fans eagerly anticipate Cowell's return to the Britain's Got Talent stage, it's clear that the recent rumors about his health were overstated. The talented judge remains dedicated to his work and is in excellent health, thanks to his commitment to fitness and well-being.
