Deadline reports:
Simon Cowell is back in business and set to star as a judge on the Israel version of The X Factor.
The music mogul has some of the second half of 2020 recovering from complex back surgery after an electric bike accident.
He will be a judge on the fourth season of The X Factor in Israel, which airs on Reshet 13 and has just gone into production. It marks the first time that he will be a judge on the show he created outside of the UK and U.S.
Cowell said, “Over the years The X Factor format discovered amazing talents from all over the world, I can’t wait to see what Israel have to offer.”
I suspect Simon’s decision was at least partly (if not fully) motivated by his feelings towards Israel.
He’ll also get to brush up on his Hebrew
.
