Cowell could be about to give up full time judging duties on TV talent show
Music mogul Simon Cowell has revealed in a recent interview that he’s considering taking a smaller role on the ITV talent search Britain’s Got Talent.
The 50-year-old currently sits as a judge on the hit show but says he is tiring of the time spent on the road as the programme moves around the country holding auditions in different cities across the UK.
The multi-millionaire is reportedly planning to tie the knot later this year, so there is the suggestion that Cowell wants to spend more time with his soon-to-be-wife Mezghan Hussain and less time in the limelight. The straight-talking judge also wants to concentrate on launching the X-Factor over in the US.
The new series of Britain’s Got Talent aired over the weekend and the audience and the contestants were given a taster of what life on the show would be like without Cowell as the judge called in sick for one of the auditions. X-Factor judge Louis Walsh was roped in to cover for sick Cowell and the show carried on without any hitches.
Simon says he’s not interested in quitting the show altogether, but he is considering cutting down his workload on the programme and maybe stepping in as a judge during the semi-finals instead. The 4th series of the hit show, which has discovered acts such as Susan Boyle and Paul Potts, kicked off last Saturday.
