Golden Buzzer: Sacred Riana’s Unbelievable Magic Shocks Judges and Audience on BGT 2024
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.”

10 Nov 2020
Investcorp today announced that it has recently sold eight multifamily properties located in Arizona, California, Florida and New York to multiple buyers for more than US $900 million.
Michael O’Brien, Managing Director and Co-Head of North America Real Estate at Investcorp, said: “We worked diligently and methodically to assemble this portfolio of highly-leased residential properties in key target markets with strong underlying economies, growing populations and limited supply. We are pleased with the value that we created for our investors and shareholders through these transactions. We believe that these sales are a testament to our ability to consistently execute on our investment thesis to target strong cash-flow generating assets with opportunities for further capital appreciation through active, hands-on management.”
The properties were garden and townhome-style apartment buildings located in major metropolitan areas in Arizona, California, Florida and New York. Investcorp acquired the assets in 2016 and 2017 and completed numerous value-enhancing initiatives, increasing average monthly revenue per unit by approximately 20%, implementing select property and amenity upgrades and interior unit renovations as well as benefitting from the targeted markets’ consistently strong housing fundamentals with favorable supply / demand dynamics.
Timothy Mattar, Global Head of Distribution at Investcorp, said: “We continue to see attractive opportunities in US multifamily and industrial real estate given the strong secular tailwinds supporting their growth and resilience. Looking ahead, we will continue to leverage our deep market expertise and long history of successfully investing in real estate to identify additional opportunities that we believe to meet our proven investment criteria.”
