While the other Britain's Got Talent judges Amanda Holden and Alesha Dixon have remained silent on the issue of a new line-up, Simon previously hinted that change was in the air.

"I'm possibly looking at a shake-up for next year," he revealed. "It's about having a conversation to see how much they want to be on the show. Are they still into the idea of finding a star? I never want a judge for hire. I want someone committed. "Speaking specifically about David, the 54-year-old said "He goes too far at times. The more you say not to do something, the more he does it. He gets over-excited. He says and does things and sometimes regrets them, [but] I knew what I was getting when I hired him."
