It is not uncommon to hear viewers say things like “simon lacks emotions, simon has got an acid tongue, I wish I could throw eggs at simon”, guess one viewer has had enough of simon’s raw truths and decided to do something about it, Simon Cowell sure got an egg-full on Saturday, June 8 after getting egged on live TV during the Britain’s Got Talent finale in London, England.
In a video, you can see Simon Cowell, and other judges Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon, David Walliams watching a performance of “The Impossible Dream” by Welsh opera singers Richard and Adam Johnson when suddenly, a woman raced onstage and started pelting the judging panel with eggs.
The woman was quickly rushed off stage by security and the performance continued without a hitch. At the end, the judges gave the brothers a standing ovation and Cowell, 53, is seen taking off his jacket, presumably because it was covered in egg yolk.
The egg thrower was later revealed to be 30-year-old viola player, Natalie Holt, who was onstage playing with the orchestra at the time.
“I want to apologize to Richard and Adam for overshadowing their performance,” she said in a statement. “I’ve never done anything like this before and in hindsight I have realized it was a silly thing to do.”
Cowell seemed to take the incident in stride, tweeting after the show, “I really don’t like eggs.”
The Johnson brothers finished in third place during the finale.
Though at first the video seems funny and seems like he has had it coming for a while, but the truth is that it comes to show the security lapses that exist in the show, in the age where senseless killing and spree killing have become a thing has happens with relative consistency, i believe more show be done to forestall such from happening again.
