Britain's Got Talent judge David Walliams may reportedly quit the ITV show after ten years after being forced to apologise for comments he made about contestants. It is unconfirmed if he has quit but he is said to be considering 'bowing out'.
The comments were revealed on a leaked transcript from the show where Walliams made reference to one contestant while referring to another as a 'c****' while filming. The comedian has since apologised for making the remarks he made during filming breaks.
A source for ITV has suggested that he may be preparing to leave over the next few weeks. He would prefer to leave on a 'high' after ten years. It is thought that he would focus on his other projects.
