Simon Cowell is said to have 'looked uncomfortable' as a couple got married on stage during a Britain's Got Talent audition

The 'BGT' judge - who himself popped the question to his now-fiancée Lauren Silverman on Christmas Eve (24.12.21) - witnessed Ben and Kerry, from Ashford, Kent, tie the knot during a try out for the new series of the ITV show, and he is said to have been "fidgeting in his seat".

An onlooker told the Daily Mirror newspaper: “He appeared like he’s still not a man that bothered about weddings.

“I think Simon might have thought it was a joke at his expense at first, but as the ceremony took place he was fidgeting in his seat.

"He looked uncomfortable and David was clearly taking the mickey out of him as he has done throughout the auditions regarding his engagement.

"Simon was making hand gestures to the audience which looked like he wasn’t that interested and wanted to get it over with."

Fellow judge Alesha Dixon was also shocked by the 'BGT' ceremony.

She said: “Just when you think this show can’t get any crazier, we have an actual wedding.”

Elsewhere during 'BGT' auditions this week, judge David Walliams is said to have poked fun at Simon for not knowing what a millionaire's shortbread biscuit it, which prompted the music mogul to joke that the 'Little Britain' star could soon be out of a job and end up on BBC quiz show 'Pointless'.

According to the Daily Star newspaper, Simon said: "I’d be careful if I were you.

"You’ll be out of a job and end up a contestant on 'Pointless' next year."

Earlier this week, 'BGT' presenter Ant McPartlin choked up as he and Declan Donnelly co-hosted the show in front of a live audience for the first time in two years.

The 2020 'BGT' live finals were postponed from the spring to the autumn following the start of the COVID pandemic and were pre-recorded with a virtual audience.

Last year's show was axed completely due to the pandemic, but the co-hosts and judges Simon, Alesha, David, and Amanda Holden reunited this week for the first day of the auditions at the London Palladium.
