Piers Morgan to return to BGT?
Piers was a judge on Britain’s Got Talent for four years between 2006 and 2010. He was also a judge on the US version of the show between 2006 and 2011. However, he quit both to focus on his CNN show, Piers Morgan Live.
In 2020, Piers revealed that BGT bosses had asked him on numerous occasions to return – however, he didn’t want to do it without Simon.
“I was approached several times to go back to Britain’s Got Talent when Simon Cowell got injured,” he told OK! at the time.
“That would have been quite fun, but I’d rather do it with him.”
Bookies tip Piers Morgan to return to Britain’s Got Talent
Ahead of the 2025 series, a number of bookies seemed to think Piers might just return to the show, despite his protestations!
“Piers Morgan is a polarising character and very opinionated. We all know he loves to not do the norm and do things that spark conversation and debate online/ across socials. It would I think, bring viewers back,” PR expert Rochelle White told the Daily Star at the time.
“Piers Morgan’s return to Britain’s Got Talent would be sure to cause conversation,” Dom Aldworth, Head of Brand Marketing at Slingo also said.
“He is capable of captivating audiences and ruffling feathers in equal measure. This would be great for headlines and social media engagement, both of which follow wherever he goes,” he then added.
However, he confessed it could be “risky”.
Who are the Britain’s Got Talent judges?
Currently, Simon sits at the head of the panel alongside Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and newcomer KSI. So there isn’t actually a vacancy for Piers to slip into at the moment.
However, this weekend does see Stacey Solomon fill in for Simon during his absence, so we guess it’s a case of watch this space for the live shows!
