Britain's Got Talent star Simon Cowell is famous for splitting up groups who audition on his talent shows - now he’s turned his attention to dogs.
The music mogul, 63, has never had qualms about ditching less talented singers and friendships have been ruined in the audition room when wannabes have dumped their pals to find stardom alone. But this series of Britain’s Got Talent is the first time the judge has ever put just one half of a dog double act through.
Simon, who will be joined by Bruno Tonioli, Amanda Holden and Alesha Dixon on the judging panel this year, says, “It was honestly hilarious because the owner was deadly serious. She told us the dogs could play instruments and obviously they couldn't. Well, certainly one couldn't. I just thought, "Well, why not? Split them up.
Here Simon answers our questions about what we can expect from the 2023 series of Britain’s Got Talent.Well, I think you've got two things, you want to make a show which people hopefully will enjoy watching. And secondly, you want to give whoever it is that opportunity, hopefully, for things to get better in their lives after they've auditioned. I think where things have changed a lot from where we first started is it always used to be about the end prize.
