He’s known for his love of dogs, and on Saturday night's episode of Britain's Got Talent fans of the show will get to see Simon Cowell try to resist the charms of a hypnotic hound.

The 55-year-old gets on the stage after Krystyna Lennon and her dog Princess perform their act on members of the audience and presenting duo Ant and Dec.

But the music mogul isn’t convinced with the German Spitz’s powers after he fails to fall under the spell.

‘Nothing’s happening,’ he says. ‘It's just a normal dog, it's just a dog with a huge tongue staring at me.’

Although, moments later the judge appeared to fall asleep at his desk during the rest of the auditions.

Simon, who is a pet owner to beloved pooches Squiddly and Diddly, said he did not fake being hypnotised by a dog.

‘[It’s] 100% real. I was feeling sleepy and then fell asleep,’ he explained. ‘It's almost like your brain tells you to do something which you shouldn't be doing but you just go along with it. The next thing is, you've actually fallen asleep.

‘I always said I wanted to find a cat that could play the guitar,’ he added. ‘I think we've done pretty well finding a dog that can hypnotise people! I just want to own the dog.

‘I could literally rule the world with this dog because all it does is stare at you and you do whatever it wants.’

Fellow judge David Walliams said: ‘Simon being hypnotised by a dog was quite peculiar because he was very keen to get on stage to be hypnotised by this dog. We didn't quite believe he had been hypnotised, but on reflection I think he was.

‘I think it was the woman hypnotising him and the dog was just there. It was a little bit disturbing. I was hoping that he might go under forever and stay in this hypnotised state, but he did come out of it.’

Britain's Got Talent is on Saturday, ITV1 at 8pm.
