Simon Cowell: ‘I’ve got softer now that I have Eric’

Ahead of the return of Britain’s Got Talent, the judges and presenters have given us some hints and teasers to get us excited for the series.

Simon Cowell has opened up about his two-year-old son Eric. We are meant to start at one o’clock and the latest start has now been five o’clock!’ But I have found her Achilles heel now and it will be used more. At the end of the day we don’t control it, the public do, it’s their choice. But I found her Achilles heel because she really was annoyed about it. “I do love her”. “It’s good. What it’s done, and certainly after ten years, is make me appreciate more the support we have had for the show”. At the same time, I am responsible and the viewers have to trust us. “Or perhaps you’ll only partially see it because you’ll be hiding your face behind a cushion.!” We wonder who he could possibly be talking about?!

IT’s pretty optimistic to say she will be around until ITV decides to ditch Britain’s Got Talent show as the Got Talent brand is the biggest reality TV format in the world now, and it even had a Guinness World Record next to its name. “While they were waiting for the next act to come out, he went to talk to Simon”. Whenever an act is there, they are on the ball.

Dixon isn’t usually one to get teary. “He’s got my blood in him”. But I am never afraid to deal with it afterwards. But it was one of those moments where I could feel myself getting emotional and I was having an internal conversation with myself at the time she was singing, I was saying, “Sort it out girl, get it together”. I can remember shooting our first series and not being 100 per cent certain on what it was going to be like. This year, it’s ballroom dancing, as Dixon dishes…

Dec added: ‘If you look back at some of our greatest success stories – Paul Potts, Susan Boyle, Ashleigh and Pudsey – these are all ordinary people who showcased their extraordinary talent on the show and the nation then fell in love with them.

Amanda, 45, didnt hold back revealing exactly what went on between the pair when music mogul Simon, 56, mentioned David’s, 44, break-up with ex-wife Lara Stone. When he gives me the nod, I would be very, very, very happy to fix him up. “He pretends he likes them but he actually hates them”.

But what they are is very loyal – and the hardest working people I have ever seen in my life. “They are literally banging their heads against a wall going, “Get us out of here Simon”.

“I admire them for that because I don’t know if I would have had the courage to do that when I was younger”.

We can’t quite believe this either! Everyone wants their Golden Buzzer act to win.

Holden is often choked up by an audition, but backstage it’s a different story. “When the show first started I didn’t know what they were doing in the wings, because I couldn’t see them, until I watched the footage back. She saves it for the camera”.
