Ant & Dec left 'scared' for Simon Cowell's life in new Britain's Got Talent series

ok.co.uk:

Simon Cowell really puts himself on the line for Britain's Got Talent — he's flirting with danger in the upcoming series! Ant and Dec are back at the helm as the show makes its grand return to ITV for its 18th run.

Ant teases, "There’s a lot of danger this year," adding a chilling note: "There was a moment this year where we were scared for Simon’s life.

It was all a bit scary! ". All eyes will be on what could have put Simon Cowell in such peril, but until then, Ant and Dec take pride in Britain's Got Talent's ability to launch successful careers. "We're always very proud of the acts that go on and achieve success," shared Dec, giving props to the British audience for supporting the stars. "It's a testament to the show and to the British public who took time to vote for the acts, recognised their talent and propelled them to stardom." Last season witnessed Sydnie Christmas soar to fame after Amanda Holden's Golden Buzzer sent her straight through for her touching performance of Tomorrow from Annie.

Garnering a whopping 27.2% of the final votes, she's now ready to hit the road with her My Way Tour. Not only did she bag a cool £250k prize and perform at the Royal Variety Performance, but also released an album—all setting the stage for more female vocalists to aim for BGT glory this year.The judges panel sees Simon reunited with Alesha Dixon, Amanda Holden, and Bruno Tonioli, while Ant and Dec can't hide their excitement about welcoming a surprise guest judge into the mix.
