“What’s going on with Simon Cowell”: Simon Cowell’s Recent Facial Transformation is Concerning For His Fans
The Saturday Night Takeaway returned this weekend with its iconic duo and hosts Anthony McPartlin and Declan Donnelly, drawing ITV’s biggest overnight audience of the year so far.
However, the shocking appearance of Simon Cowell on the television series drew fans’ attention and created a buzz online. The straight-talking judge of Britain’s Got Talent often made headlines over his facelifts and botox procedures. Still, the latest and startling appearance on the opening episode of Ant and Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway has provoked fan questions.
Simon Cowell Made Fans Anxious After His Appearance on Ant and Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway
Best known for being the brutally honest judge on Britain’s Got Talent, fans are now worried about Simon Cowell‘s shocking appearance. The American Idol alum, 64, was invited during the opening episode of Saturday Night Takeaway on February 24, and his ever-changing facial features left fans and netizens promoting questions on social media.
The hosts Anthony McPartlin and Declan Donnelly were joined by Cowell to discuss the prank they pulled on him during the filming of Britain’s Got Talent. The prank included two masked magicians asking the British television producer to take the stage and locking him up in a steel box. However, what made the gag more fun was the revelation that the only key had been swallowed. After keeping Simon Cowel inside the box for some time, the magicians turned out to be McPartlin and Donnelly.
However, fans and viewers found it hard to focus on the discussion about the previous prank, as they were highly concerned about Cowell’s transforming facial features.

Fans are speculating if Simon Cowell underwent another facelift or any other cosmetic procedure to help de-aging his face. Currently, there have been no comments from Cowell about his starling transformation, making fans concerned about him.
However, following the successful episode, Anthony McPartlin and Declan Donnelly posted on their X (earlier Twitter) account a video in which Simon Cowell says “Every time you do this to me and make me look a complete idiot”, after which the hosts lightheartedly explained Cowell that he did this himself.
Simon Cowell Admitted Botox Injections and Fillers Made Him Look Unrecognizable
In 2018, Simon Cowell owned up about botox injections and fillers and reportedly got a 21st-century facelift, which is also known as Silhouette Soft Lift. The renowned figure told The Sun about the pros and cons of getting a facelift and emphasized other options available to get a younger look. Cowell said:
“There’s lots of things you can do now… It hurts like hell, but it gets rid of sun damage and unplugs all the crap. For me now, it’s all about having clean skin.”
However, in 2022, Simon Cowell seemed to be regretting getting these procedures done, as he mentioned looking unrecognizable at a point. During the Nickelodeon 2022 Kids’ Choice Awards, Cowell expressed decisiveness about cosmetic procedures and stated it makes him look “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 recognize it as me first of all.”
Not only was Simon Cowell startled by his appearance, but also his son “was in hysterics.” The Britain’s Got Talent judge earlier mentioned having such a procedure for a clear skin, but also advised being cautious of its side effects. The filming of his show’s new series has begun, and Cowell hasn’t spoken about his appearance lately.
