David’s ribbing is hair to stay

EXCLUSIVE BY MARK JEFFERIES Showbiz Editor

SIMON Cowell has hit back at David Walliams’ jibes about his botox and cheekily suggested he may have had a hair transplant.

Asked how judges have changed over 10 years on the show, the music mogul, 62, said: “Actually, everyone seems to look identical to when we started.

“David seems to have more hair, funny that. Maybe he’s got a new hairdresser.”

On a more serious note he added: “We’re all parents now as well, that makes a massive difference. When you see these kids audition, you’re always thinking, ‘What if that was my kid?’. You definitely look at acts in a very different way.” David says over the years one thing hasn’t changed, his ability to wind Simon up.

He said: “Every single day when someone recognises me on the street, they say, ‘Oh, we love it when you have a go at Simon’.

“It seems to be the key thing people really like... so if I didn’t give him a hard time, I think people would be disappointed.”
