Amanda Holden Gives Details On Simon Cowell’s Health And ‘Round-The-Clock Care’
ITV Since Simon Cowell broke his back in a bike accident earlier this year, fans have been wondering about his condition. There’s been speculation about when he might return to TV, and his BGT co-star Amanda Holden just offered some new details.
Simon broke his back in three places after falling off an electric bike in August. He underwent surgery to place a metal rod in his back, and has since been home recovering. He had to miss the BGT and AGT live shows because of this.

The mogul’s fellow judges have been optimistic about him returning to work soon, but things might be more serious than it seems. His ex-girlfriend Sinitta described his accident as “very, very scary.”
“We’re trying to keep him still,” she shared. “We’re trying to keep him more focused on being well than entertaining the nation which is difficult because he’s a workaholic.”
A source also emphasized that Simon’s injuries are “much more dramatic” than people have been letting on, adding that he’s “in a lot of pain.” The most important thing right now is for Simon to recover, even if he misses out on making TV appearances.
