A WELL known ITV presenter has rebuffed the idea that she would ever replace a big name on the Britain’s Got Talent panel.
Davina McCall recently stepped in for Amanda Holden on her Heart Radio breakfast show as the BGT judge went on holiday abroad.
While she was happy to fill her shoes on the 6.30am – 10am slot, Davina protested that she would never take her spot on the British reality show.
In an exclusive interview with The Sun TV Mag, the presenter shared: “It’s one thing stepping in for Amanda on Heart, but I couldn’t fill a seat on BGT.
“I feel that that would be wrong in some way. Amanda is on Heart every day, but BGT is massive. I couldn’t do it!”
Amanda seems to have enjoyed her week off the airwaves, and shared a couple videos of herself soaking up rays on a luxury speedboat.
There has been no talk of replacing her from producers, but they have suggested a shake up might leave one of the BGT judges out of a job.
The Sun recently revealed that ITV bosses are considering axing Bruno Tonioli after just two seasons on the show.
One executive at the channel branded the Italian choreographer’s style on the talent contest as “one tone and hysterical”.
He will already have to be replaced in October as some BGT auditions clash with his US Dancing With The Stars stint.
According to an ITV insider, producers are considering taking the opportunity to wave him off the series altogether.
They shared: “Nobody else has been agreed upon or approached as a replacement, currently the question is just — do we keep Bruno at all?
“There is much discussion going on.
“It’s nothing sinister, but maybe a change would be better.
“But Simon Cowell might insist he stays.”
