Simon Cowell, the 65-year-old judge of Britain’s Got Talent, has been open about his battle with debilitating migraines, a condition that continues to impact him.
After first revealing the issue last year, the TV mogul hinted that he’s still struggling with the migraines that have forced him to take breaks from filming.
In a recent photo shared on social media, Simon was seen wearing his signature red-tinted glasses while attending the auditions for the new series of Britain’s Got Talent in Blackpool, suggesting that his health concerns are ongoing.
The Glasses That Help Simon Cope with Migraines
In a previous post, Simon explained to fans that he wears the red-tinted glasses for medical reasons, specifically to protect his eyes from the bright studio lights that trigger his migraines during long filming sessions.
He reassured concerned fans last year, saying, “I missed two auditions due to migraines after long filming days.”
The glasses are a key part of his strategy to manage his health while continuing his work on the show.
Britain’s Got Talent Returns with a New Twist
Filming for the new series of Britain’s Got Talent is now underway, and Simon was joined by fellow judges Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon, and Bruno Tonioli.
The team gathered in Blackpool for the next round of auditions, with Simon enthusiastically declaring, “We’re back!” However, the series faced a delay in October after the tragic passing of Liam Payne, a former X Factor contestant, which left Simon and the team heartbroken.
In a tribute to Liam, Simon expressed his deep sorrow, recalling their time together and honoring the late One Direction star’s kindness and legacy.
A Heartfelt Tribute to Liam Payne
Simon’s tribute to Liam Payne was emotional, describing the singer as “kind, funny, sweet, thoughtful, talented, humble, and focused.”
He shared how Liam had made a lasting impact on him and others, noting that the star always cared deeply about his fans.
Simon also reflected on their personal moments together, including a conversation they had the year before Liam’s passing, where Liam shared how proud he was to be a father.
Simon spoke warmly of Liam’s son, Bear, who he believes will grow up proud of his father’s accomplishments.
BGT Auditions Resume with Exciting Changes
Despite the tragedy, Britain’s Got Talent auditions resumed after a significant change in the process.
The decision was made to move auditions from the iconic London Palladium to Blackpool, a location that has proven to offer a more enthusiastic crowd.
Simon Cowell, known for his commitment to making the show the best it can be, gave the green light to this change.
According to sources, the atmosphere in Blackpool is unmatched, with audiences there showing incredible energy and excitement for the show.
Blackpool’s Audience Wins Over Show Bosses
Show producers noticed that the Blackpool crowds brought a unique level of energy that made the auditions more dynamic.
The shift from the Palladium to Blackpool has been well-received by the team, who now see the seaside town as a vital part of the show’s success.
While the location change is welcomed by many, it may present some challenges for Amanda Holden, who works in London and will now have to commute regularly to Blackpool for filming.
Simon Cowell’s dedication to Britain’s Got Talent remains unwavering despite his ongoing health struggles.
With the auditions back on track and an exciting new atmosphere in Blackpool, the team is looking forward to an incredible season ahead.
