The Britain’s Got Talent judge admitted that he felt “embarrassed” after seeing the shows at home in an interview with Entertainment Tonight.

Simon found solace in the fact that his child had drawn a parallel between him and the well-known superhero Iron Man, despite the fact that his back is now held together by metal rods and screws following surgery.

“Dad, you look like Iron Man,” Eric remarked to me when I was reunited with my family,” Simon proudly recalled. “Yes, I really am like Iron Man,” I said with a smile.Source of image: Wikimedia

Since then, Simon has had little issue brushing off his setbacks with a joke, and he has even played down the more serious injuries he sustained in June 2021 while working on the AGT stage.

When a kid-friendly Shaolin Kung Fu act was being demonstrated, Terry, ever the inquisitive one, asked Simon if he could ever envision himself pulling off such dangerous stunts.

“After hurting my back, I got to the point where I would go around the garden with Eric, thinking it was a fantastic accomplishment,” Simon joked back to the two. Even yet, I found myself doing it despite thinking, “Maybe this isn’t such a great idea.”

Simon’s journey of resilience and introspection is proof of the unwavering will that drives him on.

He maintains his enthusiasm for riding and life in general despite the challenges brought on by the bicycle mishaps, and he still finds humor in his mistakes.
