Amanda Holden says Simon Cowell 'doesn't care' about Bruno issue as she returns to Britain's Got Talent

Britain’s Got Talent’s Amanda Holden is used to belting ballads on the West End - and now she’s on the hunt for a winning choir in this year’s series. “I would love to see a decent choir,” she says. “This year, we’ve seen some really good ones and they’ve upped their game on song choices. “I would absolutely love a crowd of people to win Britain’s Got Talent because I would like a load of people to be able to split the money and have a life-changing experience together.” The actress reunited with her fellow judges in the upcoming series - but admits that she spent a lot of time “reiterating the rules” to Bruno Tonioli, who gave out multiple Golden Buzzers last year. “I think Simon’s got that twinkle in his eye where he just winks at Bruno to say, ‘Go on, go on.

I dare you. I don’t care if you break the rules.’ “Auditions were slightly chaotic this year but that’s down to Simon, it’s not really to do with Bruno.” The actress also reveals that the 2024 series features the “best opera singer to ever grace” the BGT stage. “His voice was beautiful, classic and enriching,” she says. “This guy had it all to be honest.

I was like, ‘Wow, there’s another potential winner right there.’ It’s going to be a great series. “I don't see that as a bad thing.

It doesn’t mean we’ll just hand them out for no reason, they have to be earned otherwise there’s no point in them.They have to stand out, like Amanda’s second buzzer, I’ve never seen anything like that.
