Simon Cowell was forced to cancel his filming for "Britain's Got Talent." Reports had it he is suffering from a mystery illness, manifested through a very painful headache.

The 64-year-old music producer missed several auditions due to a debilitating headache that prevented him from working. "Simon was due to film as normal but he started to feel unwell," a source informed the Daily Star.

He informed everyone that he was unable to participate in the filming after giving it some thought.

It would be an understatement to say he was frustrated.

Simon was irritated that he had to skip filming because he enjoys producing "Britain's Got Talent."

Filming for the upcoming series of Britain's Got Talent resumed last month with Simon, his fellow judges Alesha Dixon, Bruno Tonioli, and Amanda Holden, as well as broadcasters Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly. Posing on the red carpet outside The London Palladium, where hopefuls flocked in droves to try their luck on the show, they were spotted. Simon became unwell when a female intruder from the BGT set was escorted away by police last month after she 'tried to go backstage' to meet the judges.

Claiming to have attempted to sneak past security and enter the restricted area, the unnamed woman was seen with her hood up.

"Police were called at 1.23 pm today to reports of a woman suffering a mental health crisis at Argyll Street, W1," a spokeswoman for the Met Police stated. London Ambulance Service and officers were present.

Officers helped the woman and made arrangements for a family member to meet her.

Theatre employees were reportedly heard chatting among themselves as an intruder 'tried to sneak in backstage' to view Simon and his famous colleagues.

After the 'intruder' caused confusion, the popular televised talent show's auditions were postponed, reportedly in an effort to identify the country's next big star.

Officers flanked her as she was led out of the theater, dressed in a hooded tracksuit top. Following the event, a small group of people gathered outside the stage door, with security personnel stationed nearby, and officers were observed conversing with door staff at the theater.
