This year's Britain's Got Talent auditions got off to a great start in London yesterday (Friday 18th January), when Simon Cowell, Alesha Dixon, Amanda Holden and David Walliams all reunited alongside hosts Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly.

As well as Ant getting very emotional when Dec welcomed him back to the show, fans noticed something 'different' about Simon Cowell, after a photo of him from the auditions emerged online.

BGT judge and The Greatest Dancer host Alesha Dixon posted a photo of the gang back together, but it wasn't long before fans commented, asking why Simon looks so different. Alesha wrote, 'Now we're back together"@bgt 🇬🇧'.

One fan wrote, 'OMG what has Simon done?', with another adding, 'Simon Cowell looks so different to normal!' sic

Another shocked fan then wrote, 'Omg Simon you look completely different.'

Simon was last on our TV screens back in December when he appeared as a judge on the 2018 series of The X Factor. Since then, the 59-year-old has been enjoying time with his wife Lauren Silverman and his four-year-old son Eric.

Meanwhile, after Ant and Dec delighted fans with a selfie on the way to the Britain's Got Talent auditions yesterday, Ant got very emotional during his first day back at work.

Speaking to the crowd, Dec said, "We've got a bunch of acts backstage who are eager to get out here and perform for you. The judges are back, the buzzers are back... and someone else is back. My co-host for this series, would you please welcome - Mr Ant McPartlin!"

As Ant appeared on stage, the 43-year-old said, "Oh god, I'm really, really emotional now. I've missed you all." Ant then turned to Dec and said, "As for you! I've missed you," before the pair hugged it out on stage.

Turning to the crowd, Ant added, "What a lovely welcome. What a great show to come back to. I'm thrilled, I'm over the moon. Shall we crack on before I cry?"
