Simon Cowell has resumed filming for ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ after experiencing severe migraines.
The 64-year-old TV star, a judge on the show since its start in 2007, had to step back from audition filming for the seventeenth series due to migraines.
Now, Simon has reportedly recovered and will rejoin his co-judges Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon, and Bruno Tonioli. He will wear special glasses to prevent further migraines.
An insider told People magazine, “He was back filming the next morning and for the rest of the week and begins filming in Manchester today.
“He occasionally gets migraines from being under the bright filming lights for long stretches.
“His tinted glasses help a lot; however, he’s been prone to migraines, and the filming lights are particularly bright.
“He’s in fantastic health, better than ever, and in great fitness too. He’s biking and walking a lot every day and has started reformer Pilates for strengthening his back. All his friends are telling him to bring out a range of his own light-filtering glasses to help others.”
Previously, it was reported that Cowell had to drop out due to a “mystery illness.” He later addressed this on social media.
On Instagram, he wrote, “I just found out according to the internet, I have a ‘mystery illness’. For anyone concerned, I missed two auditions at the end of one day, two weeks ago, because I do get migraines after long days in the filming lights. Next week we are filming BGT in Manchester – I look forward to seeing you then.” In a second post, he added, “PS. This is why I wear these glasses!”
