Throughout the first episode of the new season, the TV mogul was seen sporting a pair of tinted red sunglasses while on the judging panel.Far from being an assertion of his diva-dom, Simon wrote on Instagram before the series got underway that he’s taken to wearing the glasses for medical reasons.I just found out, according to the internet, I have a ‘mystery illness’,” he wrote on Instagram back in February, in response to speculation about his health.
“For anyone concerned, I missed two auditions at the end of one day, two weeks ago, because I do get migraines after long days in the filming lights.”He claimed that as a result of the lights, he suffers from terrible migraines, with the red glasses acting “like a filter”.ITV has already revealed the show drew in a peak audience of 5.8 million viewers on Saturday, making the BGT launch the channel’s most-watched of the year in the overnight viewing figures.
