Amanda Holden has revealed she has bought Simon Cowell a pair of bike stabilisers after he was rushed to hospital following a scary e-bike accident last week.
The Britain’s Got Talent judge, 50, made the cheeky comments on her Heart FM radio show promising to video herself giving the music mogul his gift when the pair meet up over the weekend.
Chatting to co-host Ashley Roberts, she said: “We spoke about the fact that Simon Cowell had another accident on his bike didn’t we… now he said he’s not going to get on bikes ever again, which I think is a smart thing to do.”

Amanda, who works with the music mogul on Britain’s Got Talent, quickly interjected saying: “Not sure if I believe that…”
Ashley continued: “Unless he gets a little tricycle with a bell, where he can ring and warn people.”
Agreeing, Amanda revealed: “That’s true, although I did order, I’ve ordered him some stabilisers, I’m seeing him on Sunday, I’m going to give them to him. I’ll video it.”

She added that she might also make him take a cycling proficiency test.
Cowell, 62, was rushed to hospital near his west London home on Thursday with suspected concussion, facial cuts and a broken arm after he slammed into the road at 20mph while not wearing a helmet.
After being told that locals had seen him whizzing around the local streets at high speed on a number of occasions before the crash, he told the MailOnline: “I’m a bit of a nutter. I’ll definitely wear a helmet next time.”

Cowell was attended to by passersby before paramedics arrived, while three onlookers also stopped oncoming traffic.
He was released from hospital the same evening with a cast on his arm and has been ordered to rest up.
One workman, who has been renovating a property nearby, said: ‘He nearly bumped into me the other day. You often see him racing about on his bike although I must admit I haven’t seen him on it for a few days. Now I know why.
“He dashes round the corner without stopping and he’s never wearing a helmet. The roads can get very busy round here so he’s taking a bit of a chance.
“You’d have thought he would have learned his lesson after what happened before.”
In August 2020, Cowell fell off his e-bike in Malibu and had to undergo back surgery.
