Simon Cowell 'unrecognisable' as Britain's Got Talent judge sparks fan concerns

Fans have shared concerns following a new Simon Cowell video appeal for Britain's Got Talent contestants.

The judge spoke on camera in a bid to convince the public to give the ITV show a go, telling potential participants "two of three minutes can change your life" as he put out the casting call before filming for the new series begins.

But the clip has sparked concern, with viewers taking to social media to share their thoughts. The 63-year-old was inundated with remarks, with on Tweet reading "Not one for slagging someone’s appearance but his face looks like it’s melting.", with a follow up saying "LOOK AT HIS FACE! JUST LOOK AT HIS FACE!"

The BGT judge appeared in a new clip for the show (Twitter)

Fans got pretty personal, with Tardis writing: "Simon Cowell brought to you via Nintendo Gamecube it seems." Commudus replied saying: "Ya wouldn’t think he had work done at all. Flawless".

Jules was also shocked by the short VT, reports Birmingham Live: "Holy moly I nearly didnt recognise him then." Marcas wrote: "I always say on this show, two or three face lifts can change your life"

David Yung wrote: "Well...I'm torn between my general hatred of Simon Cowell's TV shows & being alarmed as to how he looks these days. I'm going for the latter this morning." Uncaring said: "I have never seen a more asymmetrical man in my life, bro is held together with spit and prayers."

"I’m old enough to remember when Simon Cowell looked like an actual human," Jarod said. Duncs said: "Money can’t buy class. It can however make you look like a trainee bee keeper."

Dominos Pizza's official Twitter even made comments, attaching a screenshot of the club and saying: When you get a Simon Cowell from the freezer".

Previously, the TV judge admitted to the Sun that "There was a stage where I might have gone a bit too far. I saw a picture of me from ‘before’ the other day, and didn’t recognise it as me first of all.

"Eric (his son) was in hysterics. Enough was enough. There is no filler in my face at all now. Zero." He told Glamour: “To me, Botox is no more unusual than toothpaste. It works, you do it once a year – who cares?”

Britain's Got Talent returns to TV screens early in the New Year.
