It’s the return of Britain’s Got Talent! For the 2012, Simon Cowell returns, joined by Amanda Holden and new judges Alesha Dixon and loveable Little Britain star David Walliams!

The Britain’s Got Talent live shows kick off in just one week’s time and it seems that Simon Cowell is a little worried about how they’ll progress.
The music mogul seems to be most concerned about the behaviour of his co-star and fellow judge David Walliams, who has been acting rather outrageously and apparently caused lots of footage to be cut from the audition episodes, because of his raunchy antics.

As we reported recently, we met Britain’s Got Talent star – and charming mentalist – Maarty Broekman at the show’s headquarters in London, and during the interview, we asked Maarty what he has planned for future BGT performances if he makes it through the next rounds.
He told us, “I always say it has to be bigger and better every time…
“So if I go through, the next time will be boom! Like explosion! Read more & comment »

ITV have revealed some of the big named guest performers who will be taking to the stage, when their live shows begin later this month.
This weekend viewers final out the final acts, who will perform on the live shows with the chance of picking up the £250,000 prize money and each evening, as the hopefuls are nervously waiting to hear the result of the public vote, a star will take to the stage and lighten the mood with a musical performance.

It was confirmed last weekend that BBC bosses have adjusted their schedule and will now air the first live episode of The Voice on a Friday, instead of having it clash with the Britain’s Got Talent final and at least one person approves of their decision.
It was thought that viewers would have to choose yet again between the two reality TV shows but now fans will be able to watch both offerings and Holden thinks it was a wise move.

Maarty Broekman has admitted that Alesha Dixon is by far his favourite Britain’s Got Talent judge.
The Dutch (Ssssh don’t tell The Queen) singer was featured on Saturday night’s episode of the show, singing his very own song ‘Backdoor Lover’, which was inspired by a secret girlfriend apparently.

Earlier today I met up with the charming Maarty Broekman, who won the hearts of the nation with his hilarious Britain’s Got Talent audition…
But as viewers will recall, though Maarty had the judges in stitches, and received a ‘Yes’ from Alesha Dixon, Amanda Holden and David Walliams, Mr Mean Simon Cowell was rather less impressed with Maarty nutty efforts!
However, Maarty – in whose company one feels, happily I might add, as though you’ve strayed into some kind of acid fuelled wonderland – has vowed that he’s going to win tough nut Simon over. Read more & comment »

Earlier today, I met with stunning Britain’s Got Talent singer Aliki Chrysochou, who of course wowed the judges and the audience with her audition, which aired last Saturday.
And while at BGT headquarters, I asked Aliki about her unusual name, and she explained, “It’s Greek; it’s a Greek name.
“My father’s family is from the Greek island of Symi, and when he and my mother went on their honeymoon, they stayed in a hotel that was called Aliki.
“My mum liked the name so…” Read more & comment »

Today, we met up with zany Britain’s Got Talent star Maarty Broekman, who as fans of the show will know managed to win three yeses from the judges after his audition in which he sang his own track, Backdoor Lover…
He of course also played along on his keytar, and, having seen it, I can tell you is an impressive piece of equipment! However, I didn’t dare touch it, despite the fact Maarty is currently imploring fans to ‘Touch My Joy’ – his joy, not mine – but given that a lady never tells, I cannot reveal if I touched any joy or not… Read more & comment »
