Pictures taken throughout the years suggest Simon started having Botox injections from 2009 onwards.
Indeed, back in 2019, before he turned 60, Simon admitted to having a facelift and ‘too much Botox.’
In 2018, Simon admitted to having the facelift – but didn’t say when, and said the procedure ‘hurt like hell.’
He told The Sun that he visited cosmetic surgeon Dr Jean-Louis Sebagh, known as the ‘Picasso of dermatology’, for a Silhouette Soft Lift.

He underwent a non-surgical ‘sewing bioplastic-infused thread’ facelift that set him back £2000.
Simon explained at the time: ‘For me now, it’s all about having clean skin. If you have clean skin, you look better. But you have to be very careful with some of this stuff.’
‘There’s lots of things you can do now. You don’t just have to stuff your face with filler and Botox.
‘It hurts like hell but it gets rid of sun damage and unplugs all the cr*p.’

Real talk: Back in 2019, before he turned 60, Simon admitted to having a facelift and ‘too much Botox’
Simon once claimed that using Botox ‘added 10 years’ to his TV career, but that he regrets going overboard with the procedure.
He said: ‘Hopefully I look better now – I probably did have a little too much Botox a couple of years ago, because everyone on TV has it.
‘Now I have facials, but nothing too extravagant at the moment. I have a girl who comes here and does a great face massage – it’s very relaxing.
‘I also had a sheep placenta facial once, which was quite out there.’
