Has broken his back falling off new e bike in his courtyard.

I never really liked e-bikes, however....

He'd be better of not getting surgery. I'm glad I didn't - wouldn't fancy the metal work.

Nasty.

The deep irony here is that his hairdo looks like a cycle helmet.

After a crash investigation they found fragments of his flares in the chain...

The headline says "broken", the article says "injured".

Not a fan of his, but, hopefully, it is "injured" not "broken".

 

[Drago]

BBC and CNN saying "broken". I doubt that anyone other than Cowell and his orthapaedic surgeon know for sure.

A broken back does vary in severity mind. From a cracked vertebrae (painful but not necessarily dangerous) to multiple fractures and damaged (or worse) severed spinal cord... Id wager he has a cracked vertebrae or 2. If he has damaged his face however, he won't be seen in public until they inject more cement into it to prop it back up...

Couldnt agree more....i certainly regret it

The Oops Factor.

I wish him well and a speedy recovery, I met him about 10 years ago and we had a good 30 minute conversation about all sorts. I got the firm impression in that time that he was genuinely likeable and a normal (albeit very well off) guy. I think the stage persona is exactly that, he's been playing a pantomime villain part for many years because it's what people (especially ITV viewers) want, particularly in that show. Like all pantomimes and many films, those panel shows aimed at a certain mentality need a convincing villain.

I wonder if his ego was badly bruised.
