WALLIAMS SLAMS SIMON

Singletons don’t beat about bush Ones to watch on BGT He’s talentless, jokes comic

-

THESE single men and women aren’t afraid of getting up close and very personal when it comes to looking for love.

The laughable lotharios get straight to the point, from the man who has Viagra – and urgently needs any woman, to the clearly scorned chap who wants to find anyone who isn’t “a cheating skank”.

The hilarious lonely hearts ads appeared in magazines, newspapers and online around the world. Sadly, the suitors’ success rate is unknown. judges, who were amazed by her incredible vocals. The schoolgirl started singing when she was five. ED GLEAVE TV Editor BRITAIN’S Got Talent judge David Walliams says The X Factor is boring and Simon Cowell is “talentless”.

He ripped into the rival series hours before the BGT live shows kick off tomorrow.

Comic David said he often finds himself watching X Factor on catch up “and fast forwarding through the performanc­es. I think to myself ‘Why am I watching this programme?’”.

And he claimed BGT is a better show because it offers viewers variety.

He said: “Because people on Britain’s Got Talent will do anything, hopefully it never gets boring.

“It is a feelgood show, unlike other talent shows which keep telling you how important it is and that you are going to be the biggest star in the world.

“With BGT you know exactly what you are going to win – some money and the chance to perform at the Royal Variety Performanc­e. “You are not told you are going to be the biggest star the world has ever known and that you are going to sell millions of records around the world.”

Walliams regularly clashes with Simon on the BGT panel – often tongue-in-cheek. Now he has hinted he thinks the music mogul is deluded.

He said: “I don’t think I have any wisdom to impart to anyone. Simon does – and this is a man with no discernibl­e talent whatsoever.

“It is the strangest thing. He thinks he has got pearls of wisdom for everybody but he can’t sing, he can’t dance and he can’t tell jokes.”

But David admitted: “His talent is for spotting talent, and he is good at that.” As part of a BGT twist, the judges will select one axed act of their choosing to go through to the live final as a wildcard.

Camila Cabello, Alfie Boe, the cast from Bat Out of Hell The Musical, 5 After Midnight and magician Richard Jones will perform at the semi-finals.

And Little Mix and Diversity will join forces to perform together at the grande final.
