David Walliams has made a threat to leave Britain's Got Talent if Piers Morgan was made the head judge on the ITV show. Willaims said he would walk away from the ITV show rather than share a stage with Piers Morgan. Morgan, who is the Good Morning Britain host, is a replacement for Simon Cowell, who met with an accident after he fell off the bike.
It appears that ITV's decision has enraged David Walliams, who has a famously acrimonious relationship with Morgan. A source mentioned:
"I heard that David threw his toys out of the pram. Imagine David and Piers sitting on either end of that judging panel – what great TV it would have been."
Piers Morgan confirmed ITV approached him about a return to the show, which he left in 2010 after the fourth series. Similarly, he was a host on America's Got Talent for six series. After the accident of Simon Cowell, Morgan wrote in his weekly column:
"My first thought... was genuine concern for my old mate, who should have stuck to the Zimmer frame that I bought him for his 60th birthday last year. My second thought, seconds later, was that there was now a vacancy for a head judge on BGT."
"Amusingly, I was quickly sounded out to see if I was potentially available but had to explain that if I was confined to the same close quarters as that insufferable twerp David Walliams, it wouldn't end well."
On 5 September 2020, during the semi-finals of Britain's Got Talent, Amanda Holden took over the place of Simon Cowell as a head judge. The final will take place next month, sources revealed.
