“Simon Cowell Vanished from the Digital World—The Shocking Truth Amanda Holden Just Revealed Will Leave You Reeling”
Simon Cowell, the man behind some of the world’s biggest music acts like One Direction, Camila Cabello, and Westlife, has always been known for his razor-sharp wit and cutthroat industry instincts. But now, Britain’s Got Talent co-judge Amanda Holden is revealing a completely unexpected side of the music mogul—and it starts with one shocking detail: Simon Cowell no longer owns a phone.
In a world dominated by digital noise and constant communication, Cowell has chosen complete disconnection. “Simon doesn’t have a phone, he doesn’t pay attention to anything, and I think that puts him in a bubble,” Amanda said in a recent interview with The Mirror. According to her, it’s all part of Simon’s dramatic shift toward a quieter, more intentional family life with his fiancée Lauren Silverman and their young son, Eric.
This revelation comes just as Britain’s Got Talent prepares to launch its latest season, reminding fans of Cowell’s enduring influence on the entertainment world. But behind the camera, Amanda insists, Simon is far from the industry titan we think we know. “His family life is happy, he’s super-secure with Lauren, and Eric is gorgeous,” she said.
Rather than celebrity parties and power meetings, Cowell now spends weekends in the Cotswolds, enjoying a slower pace of life. Amanda, who also has a home there, even joked that she had to convince Lauren to talk Simon into it. “Now he loves it.”
Despite this surprising turn to simplicity, Simon is far from retiring. He remains a driving force behind not only Britain’s Got Talent but also America’s Got Talent and several global spinoffs. And this season, fans can expect the unexpected—with Amanda teasing that the judges may have broken the rules by using the golden buzzer more than once.
“It’s not just about winning anymore,” Simon shared. “It’s about that viral moment that can change your life overnight.”
But fans and insiders alike are asking: is Simon’s phone-free lifestyle just another clever move, or has the world’s most famous talent scout truly left the noise behind for good?
One thing is certain—this isn’t the Simon Cowell we thought we knew. And as BGT returns, all eyes will be on him to see just how much he’s really changed.
