David Walliams has said having their own children has made the Britain’s Got Talent judges “more sensitive” during the auditions. This is the 10th year the current judging panel – featuring Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and Walliams – has been together for the ITV talent show.
After being cancelled last year due to the coronavirus pandemic, the show will return to screens this weekend with a double bill on Saturday and Sunday, hosted by Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly. Speaking ahead of the show’s return, Walliams said: “I think having kids definitely changes you. I think Amanda was the only person who was a parent before.
“We’ve all got children now, I think that obviously makes us probably a bit more sensitive. Especially when kids come on and perform, obviously we are absolutely rooting for them thinking, ‘God, that could be our child out there’.”
