Myleene Klass and Samantha Womack have reportedly been asked if they can stand in for Amanda Holden at this year’s Britain’s Got Talent auditions in London.

ITV have confirmed that they are looking at stars who will work as temporary judges with the other panel members – Simon Cowell, David Walliams and Alesha Dixon – after it was revealed that Amanda Holden will spend a second week in hospital following the traumatic birth of her new baby daughter Hollie on Monday.

The 40 year old was in critical condition at the start of this week and has been subject to a number of blood transfusions and though it is expected that she will return to the ITV show later in the year, for now producers are looking at stars who may be able to step into her shoes on a short term basis.

Insiders claim that TV presenter Myleene and Eastenders star Womack are currently favourites for the role and are being considered for the auditions set for February 6.

“We always had planned bringing in some special guest judges for when Amanda went off to have the baby,” a source told The Mirror.

“We are sticking to three judges in Cardiff at the weekend but we would like someone in the fourth seat by the time we film in London on February 6.

“Amanda knows she is welcome back but the show must go on and we need another judge as soon as possible.”

A medical source told the newspaper that Holden’s recovery is a bit behind where it should be and explained:

“She is ­recovering but is a few days behind compared to a standard caesarean because of the problems she had,” a source told The Mirror. “We’re hoping she’ll get her energy back at the weekend.

“She’s been through hell but won’t mind because she had a beautiful baby girl.”

Samantha was rumoured to be joining the panel on a full time basis last year and is said to have held talks with Simon Cowell about the possibility of joining the show.

Myleene not only has TV experience but is also an accomplished musician and singer. She shot to fame on a reality TV show, after she became one of the winners of the 2001 series of Popstars and landed a place in pop band Hear’Say.
