Casting show chief judge Simon Cowell has tested positive for the corona virus – just days after breaking his arm.
Simon Cowell (62), the inventor of the British and US talent shows “Britain’s Got Talent”, “The X Factor”, “America’s Got Talent” and “The X Factor USA”, has tested positive for the corona virus. As a result, he was unable to sit on the jury for the recent casting of hit show Britain’s Got Talent on Thursday. A spokesman confirmed “Mail Online”: “Simon could not take part in the filming today as he isolating himself at home after testing positive for Covid-19.”
Accident with the e-bike
The infection comes just days after an e-bike crash near his west London home. The TV judge and music producer broke his arm.
It was his second bicycle fall after injuring his back in a similar incident in Malibu two years ago. Cowell fell while e-biking in his adopted home in California. He wanted to try his new bike there. He himself posted about the incident: “Good advice: If you buy an e-bike, read the manual before the first ride. I broke part of my back.”
