TV bad guy Simon Cowell has finally got his comeuppance after being shot down
at his lavish mansion – and one of his celebrity pals is in the frame.
The dad-of-one, 56, seemingly met his maker after being gunned down by a
single bullet at a birthday party thrown by a host of famous faces.
But thankfully it’s all in the name of comedy for Ant and Dec’s Saturday Night
Takeaway, which returns for a new series this weekend.
The music mogul has roped in stars of his programmes including Britain’s Got
Talent judges Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and Piers Morgan, former X Factor
panellist Louis Walsh, and the show’s hosts Olly Murs and Caroline Flack to
take part in the star-studded whodunnit.
In a snippet of the action revealed on The Graham Norton Show, Simon is
pictured at the top of a spiral staircase as his A list colleagues and
friends surround a heart-shaped Cowell cake.
As the group begins a rousing ‘Happy Birthday’ rendition the harsh TV judge
calls a stop to the singing, demanding: “That is so obvious – second
song.”
The witty quip – a reference to one of his well-worn lines on the X Factor –
causes a stir among his guests.
But the real shock comes just seconds later as Simon tumbles down the spiral
staircase with the sound of a gunshot echoing in the silence.
He lands face-first on the floor as Piers and co scream and look wide-eyed in
horror.
The music producer’s loyal pal Sinitta, dressed in her infamous ferns, is
first to dash to his aid, screaming: “Someone shot Simon Cowell!”
Comedy favourite Christopher Biggins then chips in: “We know dear – we
all saw it.”

She said: “It’s a very top secret thing that will be revealed each show
on who possibly could have shot Simon Cowell.
“There’s a lot of famous faces people you will definitely recognise
going to be popping up it’s all top secret.”
