After 17 years on the judging panel of Britain’s Got Talent, there isn’t much Simon Cowell hasn’t seen.
But in scenes that will air on Saturday’s show, the music mogul, 64, hides behind his hands after a choir of Simon lookalikes storm the stage and belt out Tina Turner’s hit Simply The Best.
In a teaser clip, judges Amanda Holden, Bruno Tonioli, Alesha Dixon laughed in amusement as a red-faced Simon watched as the lead performer began singing in Simon’s iconic white shirt and high-waisted black trousers combo.
As the famous chorus hit, countless Simon clones waltzed onto the stage to join in the performance.
The audience were left in stitches, just as much as judge Amanda, 52, who couldn’t stop giggling and laughing.

Presenters Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly seemed to be having the time of their lives as they high-fived every Simon clone, with Ant saying at some point: ‘It’s like a nightmare I had once!’
While the Simon impersonators wore black aviators, Simon had on red-tinted glasses.
The former X Factor judge explained the reason to fans in February, revealing he was wearing them for health reasons.
Sharing a shot of him wearing the glasses while on the judging panel, he wrote: ‘I just found out according to the internet, I have a ‘mystery illness’.
‘For anyone concerned, I missed two auditions at the end of one day, two weeks ago, because I do get migraines after long days in the filming lights.
He finished off saying: ‘Next week we are filming BGT in Manchester – I look forward to seeing you then. PS. This is why I wear these glasses!’
The music mogul is known for his uniformed wardrobe of shades, a white shirt, jeans and black shoes.
However, the star has been showing off his physique in the current series as he has worn a selection of more tight fitting T-shirts.
The numerous group of people didn’t immediately unveil their surprise, as it was first only one clone to take to the stage singing

And of course, every single one of them rocked the typical white shirt, black trousers and black aviator shades that mark the music mogul’s trademark look, and even a black toupee

Amanda recently revealed the secret to Simon’s ripped figure as she confessed he is now working out to compete with fellow judge Bruno.
Amanda revealed that Simon has been ’embracing his sporty side’ as he ‘does press-ups backstage’ before filming the ITV show.
She told The Sun: ‘He has been doing his press-ups backstage. Simon’s impressive, he’s got some guns.
‘He’s doing it to compete with Bruno! Bruno’s got his pecs, but he does his press-ups in the privacy of his own home. I managed to video Simon doing it. I was like, ‘I’m not missing that. I’m putting that all over social media’.
‘He’s embracing his sporty side this series. He’s been turning up in tracksuit bottoms and a compression top. But the compression top shows off his best bits. I think he’s quite proud of his pecs and his guns. Simon’s got the pecs factor.’
Britain’s Got Talent continues tomorrow at 19:30 on ITV1 and ITVX.
