Britain's Got Talent in talks to bring back Piers Morgan

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 11 Oct, 08:48 · Archive

Britain's Got Talent producers are in talks to bring back original judge Piers Morgan as a guest judge for the show's 20th anniversary series in 2027. Morgan judged alongside Simon Cowell and Amanda Holden for the first four series before leaving to host a US chat show. He last appeared on the show in 2010.

A source told The Sun that the anniversary would be 'an extravaganza' with familiar faces returning to celebrate the milestone. The idea is to bring Morgan back as a guest judge for the January auditions, with former contestants appearing later in the year for the live shows. Paul Potts, who won the debut series in 2007, and Susan Boyle, who finished second in 2009, are among those being considered for a return.

Other changes are planned for the judging panel. Bradley Walsh is reported to be set to take Simon Cowell's seat for some of the next series. The show has previously brought back former contestants for anniversaries; for the 10th anniversary in 2017, returning performers included Diversity and Stavros Flatley.
