David Walliams made a savage attack on Simon Cowell when the semi-finals of Britain’s Got Talent kicked off on Saturday and he also didn’t seem impressed by Amanda Holden’s new promoted role.
The show faced another chaos this year due to the coronavirus pandemic, but then another blow came when head judge Simon had to withdraw from the semifinals due to breaking his back in a bicycle accident near his home in Los Angeles.
While Simon recovers, David, Amanda, Judge Alesha Dixon, and alternate Ashley Banjo filmed the taped semi-finals and David couldn’t resist the temptation to take a hit at their expense.
After introducing Ashley, BGT hosts Ant and Dec asked David, “How are you going to do without your Simon?” to which he quickly replied “Simon, who?”
He added: “We have Ashley Banjo taking over for Simon and he’s going to do an amazing job.
“I mean, what does Simon Cowell do? He just says no to people, can anyone do that ?!”
After this week’s speculation, Ant and Dec also confirmed on screen that Amanda is the show’s new head judge in Simon’s absence, to which David yelled, “What ?!” before adding: “she should be the nation’s favorite judge,” in reference to the fact that she won that title at the National Television Awards on several occasions.
