SIMON Cowell has revealed a Britain’s Got Talent shake-up ahead of the new series.
Simon, 62, appeared on Good Morning Britain today and said fans will be treated to a new “Golden Moment” on the ITV talent show.
The head honcho told GMB’s Richard Arnold it will accompany the show’s legendary Golden Buzzer, adding: “I’m always nervous before we make the show, what if they’re all terrible?
“But you’ll see, we have some really really good people. And then we have something new, which we’re going to call a Golden Moment. It’s new, and I think it’s great.”
Fellow judge Amanda Holden added: “It’s really cute” as Alesha Dixon chimed: “You really see the acts fight for their place on the show.”
The dad-of-one showed off his slender frame on GMB after losing three stone and telling The Celeb Report he feels much healthier.
He also no longer has facial treatments like filler and Botox, and looked well as he appeared alongside with fellow BGT judges Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon, and David Walliams.
He said: “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 myself.
“Eric (his son) was in hysterics. Enough was enough. There is no filler in my face at all now. Zero.
“There was a phase where everyone was having their faces pumped full of this and the other.
“But for me, now, a lot of it comes down to healthy eating and drinking tons of water.”
Simon’s hit show returns to ITV on Saturday April 16.

The reality TV supremo will reunite with judges Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and David Walliams and hosts Ant & Dec.
But Simon has detailed the “difficult decision” to axe BGT last year amid the Covid pandemic.
He said he had become “nervous” about making the show as a new variant began to sweep the country and called the series off just weeks before auditions were due to begin.
He said: “As much as I didn’t want to not make the show last year, we just couldn’t at that point, it would have been literally impossible.”
He added: “It was hard but I’ve got to be honest, because of what was happening at the time, which was the new variant had come out, I got really nervous about it.
“We were about two or three weeks out from auditions and I just thought, ‘We can’t do this, the risk to everyone is too high’.
“So it was tough, but I knew it was the right thing to do because it wasn’t like the show was never going to come back.
“We always knew it would come back this year and it would come round quickly, which it did.
“So I missed it but I had no choice. I hope that break, having not had it on air for a year, that the audience will like it even more, I hope they missed it.”
