BRITAIN'S Got Talent viewers took to social media in their droves tonight to make the same complaint. Fans of the ITV hit weren't impressed as Simon Cowell covered his ears in the opening moments of the first live semi final.
Simon claimed he was covering his ears because he didn't know who was in the line-up for the first live show of the series. He also said this was why he couldn't turn around, as he wanted to be surprised.
Simon explained when hosts Ant and Dec came over to chat to the panel: "By the way I was doing this [puts fingers in ears] the whole way through the intro because I don't know who is on tonight's show so I like to be surprised. "So that might have looked a bit odd what I was doing and I can't look behind me but I am very very excited." Dec shot back: "Simon nothing surprised us about you anymore!" And fellow judge David Walliams joked: "He doesn't really know where he is anymore.
He is just wheeled in. He doesn't know what show he is on." But fans cried foul and said they didn't believe what he was telling viewers. "Give over, don't chat s**t Simon," one vented. "You know full well who's on tonight's show!" .css-qu9fel{border-top:1px solid #dcdddd;}.css-b9nmbi{margin-bottom:16px;border-top:1px solid.
