Lord Sugar takes a brutal swipe at Simon Cowell

Lord Alan Sugar took a brutal swipe at Simon Cowell's 'strange looks' when discussing if he would ever get plastic surgery like the X Factor star.

The business mogul, 77, who claimed he hasn't had any cosmetic surgery, vowed he would never get any work done because he would rather 'age gracefully than look like Simon'.

Despite Lord Sugar admitting his wife Ann Simon is happy to have any surgery, he appeared incredibly against it and even slammed Simon, 64,

The Sun reported Lord Sugar said: 'Leah has been absolutely dying to inject me with loads of bloody things, and while my wife and daughter go to her for these things, I’ve told her, "No, thanks", and haven’t let her do a thing.

'I mean, what has Simon done to himself? He’s a really nice chap, but he’s been looking a bit strange lately — God forbid I were to ever go down that road.

'If you looked at a picture of me 20 years ago and one now, there would be a dramatic difference in the two. But then again, I am 77 and growing old gracefully doesn’t bother me at all.'

In April 2023 Simon insisted he has never had a facelift after presenters Ant & Dec made a cheeky quip about his changing appearance on Britain's Got Talent.

At the time, Dec told the audience: 'We have a new face joining the judging panel' to which his comedy partner replied: 'What? Simon has a new face?'.

Speaking to The Mirror Simon laughed off the suggestion he had gone under the knife, despite his drastically altered features.

He told the publication: 'I think it's hysterical. I mean, it just makes me laugh. I haven't had a facelift or anything.'

'I've had a bit of Botox or whatever, but nothing drastic,' he added.

'So when I hear about this stuff, honestly it does make me laugh'. 

The talent show boss previously revealed that he took his love of Botox too far, with his final treatment leaving him looking like 'something out of a horror show'. 

According to The Sun, Simon said he decided to stop when his strange appearance left son Eric, eight, in hysterics.

The former X Factor judge, who shares his son with partner Lauren Silverman revealed that as a result he no longer has any filler in his face.

He has also been showing off his much slimmer figure after dropping three stone and wearing a surgical back brace, as of late, to aid his recovery after nearly being paralysed in a bike accident in 2020.

The businessman broke his back in 2020 in a fall from an electric bike he was testing at his home in Malibu, California. He had six hours of surgery. There was another setback after he fell from his bike again a year later.

The former X Factor star has since shed three stone after overhauling his diet and lifestyle to help with his recovery.
