Saturday 4 June 2022 09:34 AM Simon Cowell apologises to young girl after she's left in tears by his harsh ... trends now
Simon Cowell was left red-faced after he was forced to apologise to a young girl on Britain's Got Talent's Friday semi-final.
The talent show judge, 62, wasn't impressed with the opening performance from act Matricks Illusion, and even pressed his buzzer during their act.
But as Simon was giving them his unfiltered opinion, one member of the group, named Lamala, started to well up - with the judge later admitting he felt 'awful'.

The magic act wowed the judges with their initial audition, and opted for a disappearing number on Friday evening.
But it didn't live up to expectations, as Simon buzzed and explained it lacked 'star power'.
'I buzzed because I didn't feel it was magical enough. There was a lot of chaos, and whereas I like these big magic acts compared to cards, we had a magician on a few days ago who I thought was so much better.
'I didn't think this... this lacked, I don't know, star power for me,' he continued.
