Britain’s Got Talent returned with a bang last week and pulled in some record-breaking viewing figures, and Kerry Katona was amongst those who couldn’t get enough of the talent show.
While the former Atomic Kitten star was delighted the competition was back, there was one thing that didn’t hit the mark for Kerry, and that was the judging panel. Simon Cowell, Alesha Dixon, Amanda Holden and Bruno Tonioli all returned to their seats for another year, with it being Bruno’s second series in the chair.
But taking to her weekly New Magazine column, Kerry admitted she’s not sure Bruno is the right man for the job, and would like to see his predecessor David Walliams back on the show. Sharing her thoughts on the show, Kerry said: “We’re all watching Britain’s Got Talent and it’s so nostalgic for me – I absolutely love it. I love sitting around as a family and watching it. They need to get my family on Gogglebox, because we’re hilarious watching TV!

“I’d actually like to thank Simon Cowell for making something that all of us can sit together and watch, it was just lovely. These are the kind of moments that I remember from my childhood.”
But admitting her true feelings on the judging line-up, she added: “I do miss David Walliams as a judge, though. He brought the fun factor and I’m not sure Bruno Tonioli is right for it, if I’m honest. And I’ve got a bit of a girl crush on Amanda Holden! The fact that she’s older than me makes me think I’ve still got time to look that good.”
In November 2022, former Little Britain star David stepped down from his role as a judge on the show after offensive comments he made about contestants were leaked to The Guardian newspaper.

The comments were made during breaks in auditions for the 2020 series of the show, and included David dubbing one contestant as a “c**t” and said about another, “she thinks you want to f**k her, but you don’t”
He then apologised for the “disrespectful comments” in a statement, saying: “I would like to apologise to the people I made disrespectful comments about during breaks in filming for Britain’s Got Talent in 2020.

“These were private conversations and – like most conversations with friends – were never intended to be shared. Nevertheless, I am sorry.”
The comments were picked up by microphones used to capture discussions between the judges when they are sat at their desk in the centre of the auditorium.
