Simon Cowell has said breaking his back "wasn't that bad" and that he has fully recovered following his accident last year. The reality TV judge was injured when he fell off an electric bike outside his home in Malibu , California, in August. His treatment involved six hours of surgery, which included the insertion of a metal rod into his back, and doctors reportedly said he had been lucky. After missing Britain's Got Talent last year and much of America's Got Talent, Cowell , 61, is now preparing to make his return in the US. Speaking to weekly US entertainment magazine People, he said: "I've got to be honest with you, it wasn't that bad actually, breaking your back. Advertisement "I mean, it wasn't great for three to four weeks but after that you get through it." Cowell said he had been doing lots of exercise and now feels "better than I did before the accident".
