Britain’s Got Talent judge Simon Cowell reveals he’s still dealing with ‘painful’ medical issue
Simon Cowell, a judge on Britain’s Got Talent, shocked the co-judges and viewers as he revealed that he was still dealing with a terrible physical condition.
Simon Cowell, a judge on Britain’s Got Talent, shocked the co-judges and viewers as he revealed that he was still dealing with a “painful” physical condition.
Last year, the 65-year-old TV mogul disclosed that he experiences severe migraines after being forced to skip a few auditions during filming.
Cowell dons a pair of red-tinted glasses to protect his eyes while filming in the studio under intense lighting for an extended period of time.
He posted a new picture on Tuesday that showed the judges getting back together at the BGT auditions as the new series’ shooting gets underway.
It appears that Simon is still dealing with migraines a year later because he was donning a pair of the colored lens glasses in the photo.
He started a new series with his fellow judges Bruno Tonioli, Alesha Dixon and Amanda Holden.
Simon announced, “We’re back!” as he was in Blackpool for the next audition round.
In February last year, Simon clarified about his health issues on Instagram and informed his “concerned” fans that he wears glasses due to medical reasons.
“Next week we are filming BGT in Manchester – I look forward to seeing you then. PS. This is why I wear these glasses!” he concluded.
Simon opened up about mystery illness
Sharing a photo of himself on the judging panel with the spectacles on hand, Simon said, “I just found out according to the internet, I have a ‘mystery illness’.”
He further addressed the concerned people and said that he missed two auditions two weeks ago because he experienced a migraine after spending a lot of time in the filming lights.
Hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly will once again join the judges in this series, and YouTuber KSI will be in attendance as a guest.
The series was put on hold in October following the demise of Liam Payne, who gained popularity on Simon’s show, the X Factor, in 2010.
Fremantle UK, a representative for the show’s producer, issued a statement after Liam’s death. “Due to the tragic passing of Liam Payne, we have decided to postpone the Britain’s Got Talent auditions. Our thoughts are with Liam’s friends, family and all who loved him.”

HÀ NỘI — The market capitalisation of several listed Vietnamese steel companies witnessed a significant decline in a single trading session on February 10 due to the impact of US President Trump’s tariff decisions.
The swift imposition of a 25 per cent import tariff on all aluminium and steel into the US has rattled investor confidence, leading to a sharp downturn in the shares of domestic steel-producing companies.
As a result, in the opening session of the week, six major steel companies posted losses of nearly VNĐ9.2 trillion (US$360.2 million) in market capitalisation.
Of these, Hòa Phát Group saw the biggest loss of nearly VNĐ8 trillion of its market cap on February 10. It was followed by Hoa Sen Group with a loss of VNĐ496.8 billion.
Hòa Phát Group’s shares rebounded by 2.8 per cent on Tuesday, while Hoa Sen extended its downtrend.
Trump has imposed a 25 per cent tariff on steel and a 10 per cent tariff on aluminium.
While certain trading partners like Canada, Mexico and Brazil have been exempted from the tariffs, with additional exemptions extended to the UK, Japan and the European Union later on, investor concerns have spurred a sensitive market environment.
Since Trump’s return to the White House, trade tensions have once again flared up, with tariffs becoming a focal point in global trade discussions.
Despite steel and aluminium not being among Việt Nam’s top ten exports to the US, the market’s rapid reaction to the US president’s announcements demonstrates the financial market’s sensitivity and its impact on the economy.
AFA Capital CEO Nguyễn Minh Tuấn views Trump’s second-term tariff policy as one of the key risks in 2025.
In the most probable scenario, AFA Capital believes that Việt Nam’s export prospects remain positive due to the tariff differentials with competitive export rivals.
Việt Nam is also expected to attract trade shifts, not involving imports from China for export to the US.
However, in a more negative scenario, the country’s exports could be adversely affected by high tariffs and reduced overall demand due to Trump’s trade war. — VNS
