Simon Cowell broke down in tears as he took to the stage at the annual Together For Short Lives charity ball on Monday.
The music mogul, 64, attended the event at the Dorchester Hotel in London with his fiancée Lauren Silverman.
In exclusive footage obtained by MailOnline, an emotional Simon admitted he “couldn’t speak” as he urged guests to show their support for the charity.
Fighting back tears, she said: “So, I can’t talk, so we discussed doing something slightly different before asking people to stand up and donate £1,000.”
Simon is a long-standing supporter of the charity Together For Short Lives, which raises money for palliative care for children with life-limiting or life-threatening illnesses.

However, viewers found it difficult to concentrate on what he was saying and were more concerned with his appearance.
Simon previously denied having had a facelift but admitted he regretted his extensive use of Botox.
On X, several viewers commented on his appearance, with one writing: ‘Is this definitely Simon Cowell?’ Does it look like a melting Ken doll?

The comedian’s joke also sparked a quick response from viewers with one writing: “So Stephen Merchant assaulted Simon Cowell.”
Another wrote: “Ahaha Stephen Merchant ‘not entirely convincing because my face moved’ after his Simon Cowell impression.”
