Newly-engaged Simon Cowell grins for fans as he arrives with Ant and Dec to film Britain’s Got Talent
NEWLY-ENGAGED Simon Cowell smiled for fans as he arrived to film Britain's Got Talent in London today.
The 62-year-old was in high spirits as he posed for pictures outside the London Palladium for this year's auditions.
Simon opted for a plain black jumper, bootleg jeans and smart shoes.
He also wore some black oversized aviators, a huge silver watch on his wrist and a black face mask to stop the spread of Covid.
Host Ant McPartlin, 46, was all smiles as he arrived at the venue in a smart black coat, blue jeans and a pair of white Nike trainers.
His co-host Declan Donnelly, 46, looked stylish as ever in a similar coat, dark jeans and some boots.
He accessorised with a green tartan scarf and checkered rucksack.
David Walliams, 50, who has been a judge on the show since 2012, opted for a more casual look.
The comedian rocked up to the West End theatre in a green bomber jacket, black t-shirt, light grey jeans and a black face mask.
The fifteenth series of Britain's Got Talent was supposed to air last year, but was postponed until 2022 because of the coronavirus pandemic.
This will be Simon's huge comeback, after last appearing on our screens in 2020.
He was supposed to be part of the judging panel in his new ITV series Walk The Line last year, but Gary Barlow replaced him.
The auditions for this year's show will take place between today and 21 January 2022.
It comes after The Sun exclusively revealed that Simon secretly proposed to his girlfriend Lauren Silverman.
The X Factor star - who previously declared he didn’t believe in marriage - got down on one knee during the couple’s recent holiday in Barbados.

Simon popped the question in front of the couple’s seven-year-old son, Eric, and step-son Adam, from Lauren’s first marriage, on Christmas Eve.
A source told us: “Simon and Lauren are ridiculously, nauseatingly in love - incredibly, lockdown brought them closer than ever.
“Lauren was absolutely stunned and never in a million years expected Simon to pop the question. She burst into tears - happy tears - and obviously said ‘yes’ straight away.
“It was important to Simon that the kids were there too, as he adores them both and the family they’ve become. about:blankabout:blank
“Lauren has been Simon’s rock over these past few years - supporting him when he broke his back, and through thick and thin generally. They make a wonderful couple.
“Whilst Simon never thought he was the marrying type, he’s realised he’s met the woman of his dreams - and couldn’t be happier. In the words of Beyoncé, it was time to put a ring on it.”
