Simon Cowell 'snubbed' Britain's Got Talent judge David Walliams for six months

Britain's Got Talent star David Walliams claims that he has been 'snubbed' by fellow judge Simon Cowell for over six months.

The 49-year-old talent show judge - who starred on the ITV show alongside Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and Ashley Banjo - said that he has actually not heard a peep from Simon since May.

It comes months after Simon, 61, suffered a horrific bike accident that left him with a broken back and unable to participate in Britain's Got Talent final shows.

While Simon hasn't reached out, David did reveal that he is in touch with Simon's partner Lauren Silverman, who keeps the comedian updated.

The Little Britain star also pointed out that the duo did have fun when they were previously working together.

"I haven't heard from him for about six months. I do think if you're out of sight you're out of mind with him," David said, according to the Daily Star.

"When we are together it's fun but I don't think he's sitting there thinking, 'I wonder how David is, I must give him a call and let him know I'm OK and thank him for doing such a good job on Britain's Got Talent when I wasn't there or send him a little bottle of champagne or a note saying, 'Thanks Dave''. No, I never hear from him."

David wasn't sure whether Simon even had a phone, adding: "Simon doesn't have a phone. Well, either he doesn't have a phone or he hasn't given me his number.

"It might be the latter! But I am in touch with Lauren his partner. She shows me pictures of Eric and I send her pictures of my son, so I hear how he's doing through her."

A representative for Simon and David have been contacted by the MirrorOnline for comment.

Simon has kept a low profile while he recovered from emergency surgery after his accident.
