PAULA Abdul played a prank on her pal Simon Cowell during the America’s Got Talent live final on Wednesday.
The 57-year-old star hid as part of dance troupe Light Balance Kids as they put on another electrifying performance during the show at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood, California.
The Opposites Attack singer was unmasked at the end of their performance, ahead of the winner of the $1 million prize being announced.
She took off her disguise, surprising AGT judge Cowell – who was her co-judge on American Idol.
The British mogul wagged his finger at Paula for giving him a big surprise.
She plugged her forthcoming Vegas show, after the visually stunning performance.
The troupe were praised for their ‘creative and innovative’ performance by judge Julianne Hough during Tuesday’s finale.
