SIMON Cowell was speechless for the first time when Sir Trevor McDonald gatecrashed the live final of American Idol and announced: "This Is Your Life."
More than 30 million viewers in the States saw Sir Trev, 67, "hijack" the show to hand stunned Simon, 47, the famous Big Red Book.
Telly’s Mr Nasty was so shocked, he could only give the veteran newsreader a big hug. British viewers will be able to see the one-off episode of This Is Your Life on June 2. It is being recorded in London this Sunday.
And Simon – along with millions of viewers – will be left guessing whether axed X Factor stars Louis Walsh, 54, and Kate Thornton, 34, will be among those paying their tributes.
Sources claim both had been invited, but insiders say they are not expected to appear because feelings are still running high over their sackings from the top-rated ITV1 show.
However, Simon WILL be getting messages from Jennifer Lopez, 37, and Oprah Winfrey, 53. Others tipped to take part include X Factor judge Sharon Osbourne, 54, and Ant and Dec, both 31.
X Factor winner Leona Lewis, 22, and Simon’s discoveries il Divo will also be playing live.
Next month Sir Trevor is also due to front new show News Knight – ITV1’s answer to BBC1’s Have I Got News For You?
