Speaking to The Sun, the BGT judge explained: “The red glasses are because I have lights in my eyes all day long.
“It’s like a laser and I get migraines and that’s like a filter.
“And they actually do work.”

According to the Association of Migraine Disorders, migraine glasses are “designed to filter out or block certain wavelengths of light to help ease photophobia.”
Simon is currently back on TV judging the new series of Britain’s Got Talent, which he’s calling his favourite year to date.
Updating fans on Instagram, the music mogul said: “I think BGT is one of my favourite years this year.
“I’ve been watching the show every week along with you. Let me know which contestants you like and don’t forget to tune in this Saturday.”
