Simon Cowell has given his fans a peek inside his lavish trailer, where he stays during the filming for America’s Got Talent.
The judge, 64, took to his Instagram on Tuesday to share a short tour around his personal motor home and introduce several members of his team.
Wearing his now signature red-tinted glasses, he began: ‘This is how glamorous it is making AGT. This is my trailer.’
Simon panned the camera around to show a quick glimpse at his bathroom at the back of the trailer, with not one, but three full-length mirrors, to allow him final checks of his appearance before heading to the set.
He also scanned past his fully-equipped kitchen, which boasted a fitted microwave and full-size fridge alongside his kettle and toaster.

As the three women waved at the camera in between working away on their laptops, Simon flashed a look at a well-lit makeup station behind them, enabling him to get TV ready without having to leave his trailer.
At the back of the room, there could also be seen a fitted flat screen television, which appeared to be hooked to a full sound system, while the console underneath was stacked with drinks cans and snacks.
But Simon emphasized that the most important feature of his luxury mobile home was Penny, an adorable pet pooch who was seen lying on the sofa.
Moving in to film the dog’s sweet face up close, Simon said: ‘And most importantly Penny. She’s so vain that dog.’
Captioning the tour video, he wrote: ‘This is how glamorous it is in my @agt trailer. Enjoy the tour, and the best part is, you get to meet Penny! Love, Simon’.

After six weeks of live quarterfinal and semi-final rounds, 10 remaining acts performed Tuesday night in one last bid to win the $1 million grand prize.
The winner of America’s Got Talent will be revealed during the September 24 finale show.
The top 10 includes singer Dee Dee Simon, aerialists Sebastian and Sonia, dance group AIRFOOTWORKS, the Hakuna Matata Acrobats, singer Richard Goodall, dance group Brent Street, comedian Learnmore Jonasi, human-canine dancers Roni Sagi & Rhythm, drone artists Sky Elements and quick-change magician Solange Kardinaly.
Howie Mandel told school janitor Richard Goodall that he thought his singing performance was enough to win on Tuesday.
‘Not only is he a hero, but I’ll make a prediction right now,’ Howie, 68, said. ‘I think you just sang yourself $1 million dollars.’
Before he took the stage, Richard, who has worked as a middle school janitor for 23 years, from Terre Haute, Indiana, watched a video of his school wishing him luck that brought him to tears.
Neal Schon from Journey also appeared in the video and told him that he was coming to perform with him on the finale. Richard, 55, wiped away tears and then took the stage and sang Journey’s hit song Faithfully.
‘You are such an amazing man,’ Heidi Klum, 51, told her Golden Buzzer pick. ‘You are so humble and so kind. You are also a little bit quiet but not when you are behind that microphone then you are a big rockstar!’

And Simon added: ‘We all need a hero right now and you are a hero’.
Hakuna Matata acrobats from Tanzania opened up the show. They were the first acts still competing for the $1 million grand prize.
They blindfolded themselves and tried to balance themselves doing a headstand on top of each other on a moving board.
The stage they were on was lifted high above the audiences while the entire acrobatic team balanced precariously on top of each other.
‘This is bigger, more dangerous and more exciting than anything I’ve ever seen,’ Howie said.
Simon said he was ‘terrified’ watching their act and added: ‘You are four heroes’.
Comedian David Alan Grier made an appearance on the show to play a prank on the judges. Howie told them David was going to direct their promos and he had them put on props like cowboy hats and hold surfboards and fishing rods.
Singer Dee Dee Simon, who worked as a nurse at San Quentin state prison, stunned the audience with her rendition of Take Me To Church, getting a standing ovation when she finished.

‘You just took us all to church and I’m bowing down at the Dee Dee altar,’ Heidi said. ‘Your voice is incredible! The strength and the power you have.’
Sofia Vergara, 52, added: ‘You keep getting better and better,’ while Simon praised: ‘I think you just showed millions of people what it means to sing well. This was what we call a moment.’
Dee Dee said her experience on the show so far has been ‘life changing.’
Aerialists Sebastián Jiménez and Sonia Moreno put on an amazing comeback performance after Sonia had suffered an injury earlier in the season. Sebastián spun and twirled from a rope high above the stage. He even twirled Sonia in his arms as they kissed.
‘That was incredible!’ Simon said, while Howie added: ‘I think you raised the bar’.
Brent Street, a dance crew from Sydney, Australia, came up with a whole new routine in days for the finale show. They put on a powerful synchronized performance dancing to Justin Timberlake’s song Cry Me A River.
Heidi gushed: ‘You are absolutely amazing!’, while Sofia echoed: ‘It’s perfection, mesmerizing’.
‘It’s so brilliant,’ Simon said. ‘You put yourself in a place where you could walk away winning this show.’

‘Incredible, incredible, incredible,’ Simon said. ‘You have combined quick change with magic and I think that is why it is so unique and so popular.’
‘You are the most beautiful magician we have ever had,’ Heidi said.
Comedian Learnmore Jonasi, 31, from Zimbabwe, had everyone laughing with his jokes. Before he took the stage he recalled his journey to get from his small town to the stage. He said he learned how to speak English by watching Richard Pryor and Eddie Murphy. He said he always wanted to make people laugh.
Sofia said: ‘I love you. Everybody loves you,’ while Simon added: ‘You are brilliant. You make fun of all the things that we think are normal.’
The dance group Airfootworks from Japan who had gone straight to the finals after getting Howie’s golden buzzer went next. For their routine, they hung from metal poles as the screen behind them showed a video of skyscrapers making it seem that they were moving through the city. They moved on the bars in unison dancing in the air.
‘I believe this is the season of dance,’ Howie said. ‘You created an originality and something we have never seen before.’
Heidi said: ”I loved it. This was top notch. You brought your A game to the finale,’ and Sofia said: ‘What you guys do is so unique’.

Roni Sagi and her dog Rhythm performed a challenging new routine and learned it in a short time
Sky Elements, a high tech drone aerial performance group from Coppell, Texas, closed out the show with an epic drone display
‘Sensational,’ Simon said. ‘You know why I love this act? Because I’ve never seen this act before. This is so smart, so talked about, so difficult, so unique and I would say one of the best acts we have seen tonight.’
Roni Sagi and her dog Rhythm performed a challenging new routine and learned it in a short time. Roni said she felt blessed because she gets to work with her best friend.
The two then danced across the stage with Rhythm jumping in the air over her at times. The crowd and the judges gave them a standing ovation.
‘That was in my opinion perfection,’ Simon said. ‘I’ve never seen an act like this, as good at this.’
Sky Elements, a high tech drone aerial performance group from Coppell, Texas, closed out the show with an epic drone display.
The drones created images of a boy on top of a sailing ship, the Statue of Liberty, a man riding a horse, a train, a giant eagle and finally spelling AGT.
‘I love America,’ Simon said. ‘I’m a Brit but I love America. It made me feel very emotional and the fact that you did this with your own creativity. Actually this was a really special act.’
‘What a way to close an epic night,’ Howie said.
