Children have made Britain's Got Talent judges 'more sensitive', says Walliams as ITV hit show returns

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.'"
