Britain's Got Talent has been entertaining the nation since it first burst onto our screens in June 2007.Showcasing an array of talented musicians, comedians, dance acts and several more, the show has proven to be popular weekend entertainment amongst Brits, as the auditionees continue to wow audiences until the nail-biting final.Following the success of America's Got Talent which premiered the year before, BGT has gone on to create household names such as Diversity's frontman Ashely Banjo, singer Susan Boyle and dancer George Sampson.But despite the programme's ever-growing success, many viewers are completely unaware of the changes that have been made along the way with the presenters and the original judges.However, what may come as more of a surprise is the fact that Paul O'Grady was originally scheduled to host the entire show.With broadcaster bust-ups and last-minute changes at the time, Daily Star has taken a look at what happened to the original format.Britain's Got Talent producers clearly had a very different agenda when they were first presented with the idea of the new show by Simon Cowell in 2005.X Factor judge Simon wanted to make sure the programme followed a similar format to the British talent show Opportunity Knocks which aired during the 1950s.However, ITV producers feared the talent show wouldn't work unless comedian Paul O'Grady fronted it.But Paul wasn't the only major change that was later introduced to the show. A few years back, audiences became familiar with original BGT judges Amanda Holden, Piers Morgan and Simon.
