Simon Cowell looks on fine form and shows off his defined goatee as he arrives for the London auditions amid his search for a new boyband


Simon Cowell looked on fine form and showed off his defined goatee on Friday as he stepped out for the first London auditions amid his search for a new boyband.

The music mogul, 64, recently set out on a quest to find a group who could rival the success of One Direction, with plans for the search to appear in a Netflix documentary called The Midas Touch [auditionees pictured on Friday] And it appears that the lack of interest has been felt all round, with the Instagram pages for the search failing to generate more than just 760 followers as of July 19, despite the campaign launching at the beginning of June - though that number has increased to 1075 as of August 2. It comes after it was reported that bosses have widened their net to find auditionees for Simon's boyband search, and have placed an ad on the showbiz job site StarNow in a bid to attract more applicants, as well inviting transgender men to apply.
