A source told The Sun: ‘One of his friends joked that the metal holding him together makes him The Terminator – which amused Simon.
‘He won’t mind if that sticks, but the main thing is that he’s on the mend.
‘The experts are pleased with how things are looking and he’s doing physiotherapy at home every day. It’s looking good.’
Speaking exclusively with MailOnline after the accident, sources close to the family said: ‘He’s in good spirits and knows he had a lucky escape and that this could have been worse.’

The family sources added: ‘He’s doing really well considering everything.
‘He’s been walking around already, obviously he has to be careful, which is expected considering surgery was only one day ago.
‘Simon has even been working yesterday and also today he’s been on emails on his iPad since early morning. He’s in good spirits and knows he had a lucky escape and that this could have been worse,’ they added.

While it had been hoped Simon could make appearances via video call, bosses confirmed on Sunday that Diversity star Ashley Banjo will be replacing him.
A source also told The Mirror: ‘It was decided that the idea of having him judge the BGT finalists via a link was just not feasible – nor sensible.
‘Everything is fixed, he just needs healing time. Flying halfway across the world is not part of the plan and he has agreed to put his health first.’
