Simon Cowell has been working hard to look after his health of late, and has been looking noticeably trimmer during recent public appearances. And on Monday, the music mogul was pictured looking his slimmest yet, in a photo posted on his Britain's Got Talent co-star David Walliams' Instagram account. In the image Simon and David were pictured with their arms around each other while backstage at Britian's Got Talent: The Champions. Simon was wearing a slim fitting T-shirt and jeans, and many of his fans were quick to comment on his weight loss. "Simon is so diddy," one wrote, while another added: "Looking trim you guys, is it the vegan diet?"
