Simon Cowell appears to still be suffering from a health condition while filming ITV show Britain’s Got Talent. The music mogul, 65, shared an Instagram picture of himself and fellow judges Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and Bruno Tonioli at the auditions at Blackpool.
The X Factor supremo’s fans will notice he is wearing red-tinted glasses which he previously revealed were worn to protect himself from migraines sparked by TV studio lights. Last year, Simon explained that fans have previously pondered if he had a ‘mystery illness’ – so he wanted to set the record straight.
