Simon Cowell has revealed why he can be seen wearing red glasses on Britain’s Got Talent… for everyone who’s been wondering.

The auditions stage of the beloved show continued to air on ITV this week, with Simon and fellow judges Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and Bruno Tonioli continuing their search for the next big thing in entertainment.

Most recently, auditioner Kranthi Drillman, who travelled from India to try out for the variety show, caused a stir with his dangerous act.

Simon was brought onto the stage and ordered to ‘stay completely still’ by a crew member as the contestant began smashing watermelons around Simon’s head.

Eventually, it all got a little too much; Bruno, Amanda, and Alesha all buzzed ‘no,’ with Simon urging the act to stop and asked for help from the crew.
