Simon Cowell sits on "three pillows" to appear taller on TV show 'Britain's Got Talent', his fellow judge Piers Morgan has revealed.

The music mogul - famous for his nasty comments to hopeful singers - relies on the boosting cushions to increase his height.

Piers said: "If you look carefully, Simon grows between shows. When we're on 'Britain's Got Talent' he's smaller then me, then suddenly his three pillows arrive and he's taller than me!"

Simon, 49, recently revealed he is so concerned about ageing that he shaves his chest in order to get rid of the grey hairs that have started sprouting.

He said: "You can't dye chest hair and no one wants to see a grey chest, do they? It had to go!"

As well as judging 'Britain's Got Talent', Simon is currently appearing on the panel for UK TV show 'The X Factor'.
