Simon Cowell admitted he has spoken to David Walliams since he quit Britain's Got Talent. The new series kicked off last night (Saturday) without Walliams, who left the show after a leaked transcript from auditions showed he was making derogatory comments towards acts when they were out of earshot.
Strictly Come Dancing Legend Bruno Tonioli replaced Walliams as a judge on the talent show, and Simon revealed he told Walliams at the time that his comments were "unacceptable", Liverpool Echo reports.
He said: "It's not the ethos of the show. I said at the time, these comments were completely unacceptable. I hadn't heard them before and it was upsetting.
