Simon Cowell has unveiled a huge scar down his spine while he was enjoying a relaxing holiday in Barbados.
The 61-year-old Britain's Got Talent judge appears to be recovering well from his horrific bike accident over the summer - but emergency surgery has left him with a large scar.
It comes as Simon continues to make good progress amid reports he is even facing gruelling workout sessions and walking around five miles a day.
In the latest snaps taken from Simon's luxury holiday, the music mogul went topless as he got on with some exercise and stretches while on a lavish yacht.
As Simon handled several weights and walked around the boat, the dad of one's enormous scar was visible down the centre of his back.
The television star then lay on his back and practised several stretching movements in the scorching sun.
Over the summer, Simon missed snapping his spin chord by 'centimetres' after he fell from his electric bike when testing it out at his Malibu home.
Simon needed six hours of emergency surgery and also had a rod inserted into his back to aid his recovery.
As a result of the dramatic accident, Simon was forced to cancel all of his television appearances and was even forced to pull out of the Britain's Got Talent finals.
Simon was replaced with Ashley Banjo on the ITV show, with the Diversity dancer proving to be a huge hit with viewers.
Although Simon has faced months of recovery, the music magnate has gone from strength to strength as we near the end of the year.
To celebrate Christmas and New Year in style, Simon and his girlfriend Lauren Silverman jetted out to Barbados with their son Eric, six.
Simon is also said to be considering legal action against the makers of the electric bike Swindon Powertrain.
