It’s been 5 years since Simon Cowell appeared on X-Factor Italia and made this hilarious mistake. After being invited on the show to announce the winner, Simon was left rather embarrassed after announcing the winner of the wrong show.
5 years since… Simon Cowell announced the winner of the WRONG show
Back in 2015, Simon Cowell was invited to the finale of Italy’s Got Talent to announce the winner of the show. And, when the TV mogul stepped on stage to take part in the announcement, he announced the act as the winner of The X Factor, not Got Talent.

Cowell was left crushed by the blunder and tweeted to apologize to all those that tuned in. “Oops. I just announced the winner of Got talent in Italy as the winner of The X Factor. Slightly awkward. Sorry,” wrote Cowell once the show had come to a close.
Whilst we find the entire situation rather amusing, Cowell’s mistake became a little bit more forgiving when he spoke on the moment to Good Morning Britain’s Richard Arnold.
“The funny thing was, I was being so arrogant on the day,” began Simon. “I’d had a couple drinks because it was a long wait, it was 3 hours and I didn’t realize until 2 hours afterwards that I’d announced the wrong show. I was like ‘Oh god. I only had one line’!”
