Simon Cowell is in high spirits as he joins fellow judge Mel B in California to film America’s Got Talent

Simon Cowell looked to be in incredibly high spirits as he arrived in Pasadena, California, to film the 20th series of America’s Got Talent.

The 65-year-old judge will be joined on the panel alongside Howie Mandel and Sofía Vergara, with former Spice Girl Mel B replacing Heidi Klum.

He was all smiles as he stepped out of a taxi, cutting a casual figure in a navy T-shirt paired with grey cargo shorts.
Simon accessorised with his usual dark pair of sunglasses and added black sports trainers for comfort as he arrived to kick off filming, toting around his belongings in a brown leather satchel.

He was joined by fellow judge Mel B, who looked elated to be making her return to the show.

The Spice Girl, 49, opted for comfort as she arrived at the studios in a fluffy pink trakcsuit with a leopord-print hooded blanket layered over the top.
