Britain’s Got Talent judge and music mogul Simon Cowell will return to our screens later this year to judge the 18th series of the hit ITV show.

Simon Cowell showed off his age-defying appearance as he returned to judge the 18th series of Britain’s Got Talent. Thanks to his global talent empire, the media personality is one of the most famous faces in the world.

The 65-year-old attended the press launch in London on Wednesday alongside fellow judges: Alesha Dixon, Amanda Holden, and Bruno Tonioli. Wearing his familiar rose-tinted glasses, Simon will return to our screens again at the end of February.

Over the years, the TV star has been quizzed many times about whether he’s had cosmetic surgery and has admitted to using Botox and face fillers.

He told The Sun in an interview in 2022: “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 recognize it as me first of all.”

Simon added that his son, Eric, was in hysterics, prompting him to say: “Enough was enough. There is no filler in my face at all now. Zero.”

In February last year, Simon told his fans that he wasn’t suffering from a “mystery illness” when he missed two audition episodes. Instead, he set the record straight and said he wears red-tinted glasses to avoid migraines.

He previously shared on social media: “For anyone concerned, I missed two auditions at the end of one day two weeks ago because I do get migraines after long days in the filming lights.

“Next week we are filming BGT in Manchester – I look forward to seeing you then. PS. This is why I wear these glasses!”

Last month, Simon shared a selfie of himself alongside Amanda Holden, and it seems he is still wearing his rose-tinted glasses.

He recently attended the funeral of Liam Payne, a member of the boyband One Direction. Judges Simon and Nicole Scherzinger put One Direction together during series seven of the talent show, The X Factor.

Liam first auditioned for ‘The X Factor’ in 2008 at age 14, but he lost out at the Judges’ Houses stage of the contest, and Simon told him to “come back in two years.”

He did just that and went on to join the boy band One Direction alongside Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan, and Zayn Malik.
