"WHAT is going on!!!!! Simon Cowell is a brummie!!!! OMG," one fan tweeted.
"Awhhhhh cute never knew Simon was from Birmingham," another echoed.
"No way is Simon a brummie," someone else added.
While a fourth disbelieving viewer tweeted: "Hahaha Simon has lost the accent somewhere along the line. Poshest brummie I've ever seen."
Someone else complained: "As if Simon Cowell is trying to claim he's a Brummie... no sir, you most certainly are not one of us."
