"Hello, it's Simon. We're live from Hammersmith, minutes before the final," he began. I am really, really excited; haven't got a clue who's going to win. But that's good. Hope you enjoy the show. Thanks for watching everyone, and take care."

"His face looks like it's struggling to move," a viewer observed. "What in the hell is going on with his face," another asked. "That top part of the face needs to loosen up a tad," someone else said.
Some thought he had a filter on. "He looks like he has a Snapchat filter on his face 😩" one onlooker commented. "I feel like he just has on a filter and died his hair. Idk why [sic]," another wrote.

Someone else offered a theory, writing, "The man lost weight and it shows in his face. He also has a different hair cut and seem to have some new veneers [sic]."
Finally, others defended the BGT judge. "Please if your dads had his money they would alter their faces too. Leave the man alone," one fan wrote. "I think he looks great tbh," another added.

Cowell's appearance has noticeably changed over the years. He has admitted to using botox and fillers on his face, but had them dissolved when he felt he looked like "something out of a horror film"
"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," he said in a 2022 interview with The Sun, adding that his face now had "zero fillers," and that he was focusing on eating healthy and drinking "tonnes of water."
