Simon Cowell reportedly lavished his X Factor judging trio with 'thank you' gifts on Sunday night including €3,552 (£3,000) worth of Botox vouchers.

According to The Mirror Louis Walsh was said to be “delighted” with his three free treatments, however Cheryl Cole and Dannii Minogue were less so.

A source said: “Simon found the whole thing hilarious. He wanted to give the judges a token of his appreciation for working so hard on this series, but given they can all buy themselves pretty much anything they want, decided to opt for a joke gift.

"Louis has spoken openly about his previous faceIift, and he and Simon call the girls ‘parading peacocks’, teasing them mercilessly about their preening ways.

“Louis said he’d book himself in immediately, but Cheryl and Dannii found the whole thing far from amusing. They gave Simon a good clip around the ear.”

By his own admission, Cowell, 51, is an advocate of Botox, the injectable toxin used to decrease the appearance of wrinkles.

Minogue, 39, has admitted to using Botox and recently said she would consider it again whereas Cole, 27, has never admitted to dabbling with it.
