Piers Morgan has competition as Simon Cowell goes for lockdown stroll with another friend

Piers Morgan may be getting a case of the green-eyed monster after his old mate, Simon Cowell, was pictured out with another friend following their catch-up this week. 

The former Britain’s Got Talent co-stars reunited for a stroll around west London near their Holland Park homes on Monday. It was the first time in years the pair had been seen together and confirmed their bromance was still alive and kicking. 

However, Simon stepped out with another friend during his daily break from lockdown on Thursday afternoon.

The TV mogul was pictured walking alongside a female friend in the same area he was spotted strolling around with Piers. 

Both Simon and his mystery pal took health and safety measures by wearing face masks during their trip. 

Fans are no doubt relieved to see the X Factor boss out and about following his terrifying accident last year, which saw him break his back after falling off an electric scooter at his Malibu home.

Simon’s injury required immediate surgery but his recovery progressed well and it was revealed the TV star was keeping fit by walking five miles a day. 

With his health back on track, Simon is ready to return to work and it’s been confirmed he will appear on season 16 of America’s Got Talent. 

NBC confirmed that Simon would once again join Heidi Klum, Howie Mandel, and newest judge Sofia Vergara on the panel, with Terry Crews back as host.

The season 16 premiere date is yet to be confirmed but most of the previous premieres take place in the last week of May.

A post on the official AGT Instagram stated: ‘Verified According to our research, looks like the new season of #AGT is going to be just as amazing as before with our judges and favorite host returning!’
