Simon Cowell, the TV judge, has sparked concerns among his fans after a video was posted in which he calls on people to audition for the next series of Britain’s Got Talent.

In the clip, Simon appeals for contestants for the programme, stating: “I always say on this show, two or three minutes can change your life. And it has. And maybe this time it’s going to be you.

“So please audition now for next year’s season and I look forward to meeting you.”

But many were left shoc:ked and stunned at Cowell’s appearance, saying that they “didn’t recognise him.”

One person wrote: “Simon Cowell brought to you via Nintendo Gamecube it seems.”

Another replied saying: “Ya wouldn’t think he had work done at all. Flawless.”

Someone else simply asked him: “What have you done to your face?!?!”
