Presenting duo Ant and Dec, both 48, were introducing the next contestant – magician Trixy while standing alongside the judging panel.
Introducing him, Dec said: “Next stop is a magician whose audition featured an old car that belonged to Simon Cowell in the 1990s.
Ant added: ‘Your face when you saw that beautiful car!’
Dec replied: “Of course, a lot of work has been done since the 1990s,” to which Ant joked: “The car?” and his co-host quickly responded with a laugh: ‘If you want!’

Despite the cheeky joke, the music mogul previously denied having had a facelift but admitted he is a fan of Botox and fillers.
Simon said previously Mirror last year: ‘I mean, it just makes me laugh: I haven’t had a facelift or anything like that.
‘Over the years, people have said I’ve done it all. I’ve had a little Botox or whatever, but nothing drastic.
Simon previously revealed that his son Eric made fun of his appearance, which made him realize he had “gone too far”.
“There was a stage when maybe I went too far. The other day I saw a “before” photo of myself and at first I didn’t recognize it as myself. Eric was hysterical. It was enough. Now I don’t have any filler in my face. Zero,” she told The Sun.
In 2008, Simon said that Botox was very common in the entertainment industry, saying, “To me, Botox is no more unusual than toothpaste.” It works, you do it once a year, who cares?
In 2019, Simon admitted to having a “21st century facelift” and “too much Botox” before his 60th birthday.

She got a major makeover and said the procedure “hurts like hell” as she revealed other methods she’s resorted to.
He said: ‘There are a lot of things you can do now. There is no need to simply stuff your face with filler and Botox. It hurts like hell, but it eliminates sun damage and disconnects all the crap.
More recently, the music mogul said: “I also had a sheep placenta facial once, which was pretty out of character.”
“Then Sinitta recommended I try another detox machine, and something appeared in my room that looked like something out of Dr. Who. It was like a spaceship had landed in my room.”
Simon has also noted that he takes vitamins daily and exercises regularly, adding: “I exercise three or four times a week, I take Botox, I take tons of vitamins and vitamin infusions – if you think these things work, you will feel better .’
Last year, Simon showed he doesn’t mind making fun of himself after investigating his face change on Britain’s Got Talent.
During one of the talent show’s live shows, he played into wagging tongues and made a cheeky comment about her face.
The surprising coup came after one hopeful, Tom Crosbie, impressed the judges by creating Bruno Tonioli’s face from a Rubik’s cube.
As the final result was shown to the panel, Amanda Holden, 52, took the opportunity to make a joke about Bruno, 67, noting: “Well, he’s got the orange (face) right!”
‘How the hell do you do that?’ Simon asked, totally bewildered, as the artist replied: ‘Practice… it turns out you have a very difficult face to make with Rubik’s cubes.’
It was at that moment that Simon joked: “I’ll change my face…again.”

The star appears to be a long way from her former self (pictured in 2001)
Simon said he decided to stop when his strange appearance left his eight-year-old son Eric hysterical (L, in 2021, R in 2022).
He said: ‘There was a stage where I might have gone too far. I saw a “before” photo of myself and didn’t recognize her as me in the first place. Eric was hysterical. It was enough. Now I don’t have any filler in my face. Zero’
He has also been showing off his much slimmer figure after losing three kilos and lately wearing a surgical brace to aid his recovery after nearly being paralyzed in a bicycle accident in 2020.
The businessman broke his back in 2020 after falling from an electric bicycle he was testing at his home in Malibu, California. He had six hours of surgery. There was another setback after he fell off his bike again a year later.
The former X Factor star has since lost three stone after overhauling her diet and lifestyle to help with her recovery.
