Having children has made the Britain's Got Talent judges "more sensitive" during auditions for the ITV show, David Walliams has said. As the show returns with a double bill tomorrow (Saturday, April 16) and Sunday, Walliams admitted being parents made the judges particularly keen to see child performers do well.
The comedian and children's author said: “I think having kids definitely changes you. I think Amanda (Holden) 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.'"
