Simon Cowell recently collapsed after being hypnotized by dog at the 'Britain's Got Talent' auditions, it has been reported.

The 55-year-old, who's a judge on ITV variety show 'Britain's Got Talent,' reportedly passed out during the auditions stages of the competition after staring into a pup's eyes, News24.com reported.

Cowell got up on stage at Manchester's Lowry Theatre to meet the German Spitz named Princess after her owner claimed she could hypnotize people with just a glance.

On returning to his seat, the star told fellow judges Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and David Walliams he felt unwell and, shortly after the cameras stopped rolling, slumped over the table. After that the owner was called back and brought Princess onto the stage to wake English reality TV celebrity up.

The TV producer wasn't the only celebrity to fall victim to Princess' hypnotic gaze. Hosts Ant and Dec also found themselves forgetting the number seven as they counted to ten together shortly after looking into the dog's eyes.
