Simon Cowell Gets Silenced – Literally – in Jaw-Dropping Britain’s Got Talent Act
Simon Cowell might be the king of critiques, but on this week’s Britain’s Got Talent, he was left speechless—literally.
During Saturday night’s episode (April 5), viewers will watch as mysterious magician Alexandra stuns the judges by taping her own mouth shut… only to do the same to Simon Cowell moments later. Yes, you read that right—Simon’s mouth was sealed shut live on stage, and the crowd went wild.
With tape already across her lips, Alexandra stepped onto the stage in silence, sparking immediate curiosity. When Alesha Dixon asked if she spoke, the audience burst into laughter as Alexandra simply pointed to her mouth. But the real surprise came when she walked up to the judging panel, picked up another roll of tape, and marched straight to Simon—taping his mouth shut in front of everyone.
The room erupted. Cheers, gasps, and disbelief swept through the crowd, with judges Amanda Holden, Bruno Tonioli, and Alesha jumping from their seats. It’s a moment you’ll have to see to believe.
As her act unfolded, Alexandra relied on Simon and the audience to help guide her mysterious routine, building anticipation for a mind-blowing final reveal.
Meanwhile, in a bit of off-stage drama, former judge David Walliams took a cheeky swipe at Simon during his appearance at Advertising Week Europe 2025. Speaking alongside his Little Britain co-star Matt Lucas, David reminded everyone that he won Best TV Judge at the National Television Awards four years in a row—an honor Simon has never received.
“He’s never won once,” David quipped. “That’s all he does is judging. It was a tiny part of my career. For him, it was the focus and he still couldn’t win it.”
Whether on stage or off, Simon can’t seem to escape the spotlight—even when his mouth is taped shut.
