Simon Cowell has missed another day of 'Britain's Got Talent' auditions.

The flu-stricken music mogul was again replaced on the judging panel by his 'X Factor' co-star Louis Walsh at the Birmingham auditions and may even miss the final day of auditions in the city today (05.02.10).

A source said: "The decision was made late last night that Simon would have to miss another day of auditions.

"It's not something he takes likely, but he is recovering from a nasty bout of flu and he has to stay in bed.

Louis is having great fun being rude to Amanda and Piers. His constant references to Jedward and their number one hit are winding them up no end.

"He may even miss the last day of auditions, we're waiting to find out."

Despite being a last-minute replacement, Louis - who mentored and manages 'X Factor' novelty act Jedward, who are currently on course for a UK number one single on Sunday (07.02.10) - is enjoying his time on the panel with fellow judges Piers Morgan and Amanda Holden, and even donned a mask of Simon's face for the auditions.

The source added to website Mail Online: "Louis is having great fun being rude to Amanda and Piers. His constant references to Jedward and their number one hit are winding them up no end."

However, Louis was booed by the Birmingham audience after rejecting a Stevie Wonder impersonator.

A source said: "They got up and started chanting 'Simon, Simon'. It was quite bizarre.

"Fortunately Louis is used to being upstaged by Simon - even when he isn't actually there."
