Amanda Holden shared a sweet snap of her and her good pal Simon Cowell relaxing in their loungewear.
However, it appears some fans didn’t recognise Britain’s Got Talent boss Simon when they saw him in the photo.
It comes after Britain’s Got Talent returned with its highly-anticipated 15th series on Saturday (April 16).
The hit ITV talent show saw judges Amanda, Simon and their co-stars David Walliams and Alesha Dixon return to the panel as they try to find the most talented acts from around the country.
Glam Amanda is good pals with Simon and his soon-to-be-bride Lauren Silverman, and they’ve been spending lots of time together over the Easter break.
Amanda took to Instagram on Monday (April 18) with a cosy photo which showed her sitting next to Simon, and both of them looked comfy in their loungewear co-ords.

The pair’s close bond was clear to see as they looked relaxed in each-other’s company in the living room.
Amanda loves to wow fans with her glamorous outfits on BGT, and sometimes her dresses are rather racy.
However, this time she was looking chic in a baby-blue sweatshirt and matching-colour joggers.
Simon was kicking back on the sofa with the TV remote at the ready, wearing a grey top and joggers.
They were also joined by a gorgeous Yorkshire terrier, which Amanda gave an affectionate stroke.

Captioning the snap, Amanda wrote: “#PrisonChic Easter snugs [hatching egg emoji] Hope you all enjoyed the return of @BGT?”
Amanda’s fans were thrilled by the photo, but it’s clear some didn’t recognise Simon.
One wrote: “Is that a Simon Cowell look a like?”.
Another commented: “I had to look twice to see if it was him.”
A third pondered: “Who is she sat with? Is that her husband? Cute doggo!”
A fourth added: “Oh my goodness it is. I actually had to look him up cuz I didn’t believe it lol.”

However, others were thrilled to see the pair together, and especially back on the screen.
One follower said: “Morning lovely… and @simoncowell too. It made my weekend having you back”
A second said: “Snug as a bug in a rug. Lovely to be cosy!! I have loved both programmes so far. Laughter, tears and goosebumps!! Fab!!! So glad it’s back..great for my mental health!!”
Amanda previously shared photos of the friends out celebrating talent manager Jonathan Shalit’s birthday with Hollywood legend Dame Joan Collins.
Simon, who was replaced by Diversity dancer and choreographer Ashley Banjo in the 2020 series after breaking his back in a horror bike accident, recently told how he’d had all filler removed from his face after going ‘a bit too far’.

And he has embraced healthy eating and drinking lots of water.
Simon has talked openly about getting cosmetic surgery in the past, such as when he went under the knife for a “21st century facelift” before his 60th birthday in 2019.
The £2,000 procedure involved “sewing bioplastic-infused thread” into the face to give a more lifted look.
He told the Sun on Sunday at the time: “There’s lots of things you can do now. You don’t just have to stuff your face with filler and Botox.”
The judge added: “It hurts like hell but it gets rid of sun damage and unplugs all the c**p.
“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.”
