Simon Cowell was embarrassingly “caught out” by beloved Britain’s Got Talent act after he was called out for his annoying habit live on air.
During Sunday night’s (June 5) live final, seven-year-old conservationist Aneeshwar Kunchala took to the stage to give his final passionate speech to encourage viewers up and down the country to do their bit to save the planet.
And it was clear to see the tot captured the hearts of the country as he gave another stellar performance which received a standing ovation by the judges.
But what no one expected was the cheeky pupil to point out the head judge’s unhealthy habit when he gave his feedback after his routine.

Aneeshwar interrupted the head judge as he pointed out the star had been littering while taking part on the ITV show.
He said: “Simon – quick thing – yesterday when I was rehearsing I noticed that you had some chewing gum and some blue tac under your desk.”
Shocked at his comment, the 62-year-old turned around to the audience as he asked: “Did you see that?”

As the front few rows of the audience confirmed the sneaky littering habit he turned back to the tot as he held his hands up.
Mortified he hadn’t got away with his cheeky slip-up, Simon added: “I can’t believe you’ve rumbled me out, you’ve caught me out. I did actually, yeah, and I apologise.”
As the crowd erupted into laughter, David Walliams chimed in with: “For the show he has his own special light – to save the environment – he should actually switch off. ”

Before he left the stage, the activist said: “Thank you David” and requested a group picture with the star-studded judging panel.
It was at this point that the children’s author left his seat and took the student’s hand in his as he escorted the student off the stage to take his rightful seat on the panel.
Before Ant and Dec cut away to the advert break, the passionate conservationist could be seen beaming in one of the judges’ chairs as he posed for a picture with the star-studded panel.
