Britain’s Got Talent judge Simon Cowell has admitted that he often feels Amanda Holden and Piers Morgan are on a different wavelength to him and not as interested in seeking out real talent.

Simon told The Sun: “To be honest, we’re all on different wavelengths on this show.

“Piers thinks he’s on Question Time. Amanda thinks she’s on children’s television and I think I’m on a talent show.”

Piers argues however that Simon is too tough on out of the ordinary acts and doesn’t see their potential.

Piers said: “Simon is quite tough on eccentric acts.

“Me and Amanda aren’t so tough and we tend to find them quite funny. He gets irritated by it whereas we find it great.

“I always think that these people are up there doing their best and having a laugh. It might be awful but it’s still funny. I always think ‘good on them’. We get more into the eccentrics than he does. He thinks they’re a waste of time.”
