The Britain’s Got Talent panel has been split and it’s making things very awkward for the hopeful acts.
Those who have attended the London auditions all week in London’s Hammersmith Apollo, have remarked on the fact that Simon Cowell seems so obsessed with Baywatch babe and guest judge Carmen Electra, that he barely notices anything or anyone else and she in turn, just agrees with everything he says.
The pair have spent the week stroking and flirting with one another and at one point, the American actress even gave the TV boss a bit of a lap dance in front of the 2,000 strong audience.

The Britain’s Got Talent auditions have been going very well this year….until yesterday that was. Let’s just say that a lot happened on the first day of the London tryouts.
The first surprise for me was obviously the new guest judge. Of all the people that were expected, Carmen Electra certainly wasn’t and I have to admit that her arrival yesterday afternoon shocked more than a few of the waiting crowd.
On arriving David Walliams got an incredible crowd reaction, however his American counterpart certainly didn’t go down as well with the audience. Some took to Twitter to remark that they “think Carmen needs to take a chill pill” or labelling her as “bland” and boring. Others said she “needs to get a sense of humour.” And one then put the knife in saying: “Don’t think anyone liked Carmen Electra being a judge!” Carmen was undetered, telling reporters: “I kinda fancy Simon. He’s cute and I love his sarcasm.”

Alesha Dixon has insisted that Simon Cowell didn’t steal her from BBC bosses but that she left Strictly Come Dancing of her own accord.
The former Strictly winner has hit the headlines recently, after leaving the BBC reality TV show, to join the panel of ITV’s Britain’s Got Talent. Show boss Cowell admitted that he loved tempting her away from the non commercial channel, because he feels like they are ‘at war’ over their rival TV shows. However, she has claimed that in the end, the move was her choice alone.

The actress and model also took part in Strictly Come Dancing and was partnered by Brendan Cole and told Fabulous magazine that she much preferred the BBC show to it’s ITV rival.

The new pals were determined to get the former Strictly Come Dancing judge a new man and so when they took a shine to a rapper who was trying out for the ITV show, they gave him Dixon’s hotel and room number in front of the entire audience.
