He also wore a pair of brogues, in a patent cherry red leather, and accessorised with a bright blue scarf.
The TV presenters could be seen as they picked up a coffee and went to join the talent show judges at the auditions at The Lowry Hotel in Salford.
It comes after Simon Cowell was reportedly set on fire by Britain’s Got Talent hopeful in terrifying stunt during London auditions last month.
The TV judge, 63, was taken on stage and had a hood put over his head by a magician, who was masked during the show.
The Mirror reported that lighter fluid was poured all over the hood, then his head was locked in a box which was opened at the front for the audience to see inside.
The magician then dropped a flame into the box and his entire head went up in flames, leaving the other judges and audience in shock.
One onlooker said: ‘The audience screamed, judges were out of their seats screaming, everyone was totally stunned.
‘The flames were put out and Simon got up looking a bit shell-shocked while the rest of the judges breathed a sigh of relief as he returned to the panel.’

Afterwards Simon quipped: ‘I could feel liquid being poured on me but I had no idea it was lighter fluid!’
Fellow judge Alesha Dixon added: ‘Simon, he set your entire head on fire! It was very scary, you are a very brave man to do that. It made me realise how much we care about you, I was ready to come up there and rescue you.’
And new judge Bruno Tonioli said: ‘It reminded me of a scene from that movie, Saw, seeing Simon’s head in that contraption. I was captivated, I’ve never seen anything like that.’
