Simon Cowell was brutally roasted by a teen singer on Britain’s Got Talent.
And it turns out the singer already knew judge David Walliams before appearing on the show.
The hit ITV talent show returned with its 15th series this weekend, and its second episode kicked off on Sunday night (April 17).
However, it was only minutes into the episode when a singing contestant took a savage swipe at Simon Cowell’s appearance.
The hilarious moment came when 13-year-old schoolboy Dante from Liverpool graced the stage on his wheelchair.
The BGT hopeful sang a cheeky comedy song about his battle with brittle bone disease, which has caused him to break almost 100 of his bones during his lifetime.
However, he also made a jibe at Simon’s “new face” which left Simon and the viewers in stitches.
At the start of his song, he sang: “I am just 13-years-old. I’ve broken 97 bones. The hospital’s my second home. But I just want to say – don’t feel sorry for me because I feel sorry for you. I get to go on the rides in Disneyland, whilst you’re still in the queue.
“I’ve been in Buckingham Palace, I’ve rode up and down. The closest you’ll get is watching The Crown. Whilst you’re waiting for your train in the cold and damp, I’ll be getting in first with my cute little ramp.”

Dante then swiped at Simon as he sang: “When I got my new wheels they looked so ace, I was happy like Simon when he got his new face.”
He added:” When it’s my birthday, I blow 13 candles out and Simon had 62.”
The audience erupted in laughter, and Simon clearly saw the funny side of it too as he could be seen chuckling away on the panel when the cameras turned on him.

David then revealed that he already knew Dante and had already met a few times before as the contestant had asked him to write a book about a boy in a wheelchair.
The comedian then dedicated one of his books to Dante, who is a previous Pride of Britain award winner.
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.”
