Simon Cowell set on fire during Britain's Got Talent audition

A crowd at Britain's Got Talent's London auditions were absolutely stunned after one act set fire to Simon Cowell's head, The Mirror reports. The head judge was taken on stage by a peculiar, mute and masked magician, where he sat in a chair and had a hood put over his head.

After having lighter fluid poured all over his hood, his head was locked in a box with an opening at the front for the audience see what was going on inside. The magician then dropped a flame into the box, and Cowell's head burst into flames.

One onlooker said: “The audience screamed, judges were out of their seats screaming, everyone was totally stunned. The flames were put out and Simon got up looking a bit shell-shocked while the rest of the judges breathed a sigh of relief as he returned to the panel.”
