Love him or not, there is no denying that Simon Cowell is one of Britain’s biggest TV personalities. But this year, Simon, 60, was forced to pull out of the Britain’s Got Talent live semi-final shows after breaking his back following a fall from his electric bike. Simon was replaced by Ashley Banjo, who sits on the panel alongside fellow judges Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and David Walliams.
