Cowell might step back from next series of BGT, or might not
By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 28 April 2010
Simon Cowell has said he won’t be involved in the next series of ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ until the semi-final stage, because of all round busy-ness presumably. Though Cowell’s spokesman Max Clifford has subsequently said no decision has actually been made.
Cowell told Reveal magazine: “I won’t be doing the ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ auditions next year. I will join the show at the semi-final stage. I will eventually leave but nothing is decided yet. We launch ‘X Factor’ [in the US] next year too, which is a huge challenge”.
But Clifford told the Telegraph: “I spoke to Simon and absolutely no decision has been made. He’s absolutely committed to it and won’t be making a decision as to his appearances until the end of June, when he’s back in the country”.
There has been much speculation what the expansion of Cowell’s TV ventures in the US might mean for the UK versions of ‘Got Talent’ and ‘X-Factor’, given even Cowell can only be in one place at any one time.
