Simon Cowell has revealed that he may leave Britain’s Got Talent, but hasn’t yet decided who would replace him.
In an interview with The Mirror the music mogul admitted that he may take a reduced role on next year’s series, leaving the auditioning to Piers Mirgan, Amanda Holden and a celebrity stand in.
Cowell said: “I am looking at BGT and whether I have a different role, maybe coming in at a later stage.
“I like the show but it takes a hell of a lot of time. You sit there watching horrific acts and you think, ‘I genuinely can’t do this anymore’.
“I am considering next year, coming in for the semi-finals, just the studio bit.
“Can I see the show without me? Yes, it can work without me.
“But… you have to really know what you are talking about – you have to be able to spot a star, nurture them, mentor them.”
One friend said: “When Simon had flu, Louis Walsh stepped in as a judge and the show continued pretty much as normal.”
America’s Got Talent is a huge show Stateside and though Simon is behind the format, he has never sat on the judging panel
