Simon Cowell beamed in via video link to make the final decision about who to put through to the live shows of Britain’s Got Talent after breaking his arm in a horror e-bike smash.
The music mogul, 62, appeared virtually on a television screen while his fellow judges David Walliams, 50, Alesha Dixon, 43, and Amanda Holden, 51, were in the room together mulling over their choices.
In the preview clip for next week’s show, which aired at the end of Saturday night’s episode, head judge Simon was seen with his injured left arm in a bright yellow cast.
Ouch! Simon Cowell, 62, beamed in via video link to make the final decision about who to put through to the live shows of Britain’s Got Talent after breaking his arm in a horror e-bike smash
His arm was put in plaster in January after he was rushed to hospital near his west London home with a broken arm, a suspected concussion and facial cuts, after he slammed into the road at 20mph without a helmet while riding his bike.
The entertainment boss was seen with sheets of paper with the words ‘yes’ and ‘no’ printed on them as he delivered his verdict on which contestants should be allowed to compete in the live shows.
David, Alesha and Amanda stood in a room with the skyline of London visible through the window in as they looked over photographs of the hopefuls.
Suggesting they didn’t give Simon much of a choice in the matter, David picked up the remote and said, ‘Simon, I hate to have to do this but I’m going to turn you off. We cannot discuss dinosaurs anymore,’ before pressing the off button.

Alesha was seen in fits of giggle at David’s actions, while Amanda exclaimed: ‘Yes!’
Simon, who has had the cast taken off since the clip was recorded, had a lucky escape during his ‘horror’ e-bike accident earlier this year when he wasn’t wearing a helmet.
He told MailOnline he was ‘a bit of a nutter’ having narrowly avoided serious injury during the crash.

He admitted: ‘I’m a bit of a nutter. I’ll definitely wear a helmet next time.’
Whether Simon returns to get a say on the final decision of who makes it through to the live shows remains to be seen, with the scenes set to air next Saturday.
