Comedian Michael McIntyre has announced that he’s quitting as a judge on Britain’s Got Talent after just one year.
Michael has reporteldy chosen to leave so that he can concentrate fully on touring with his live stage shows.
His departure leaves only Amanda Holden on the judging panel since David Hasselhoff was axed last month.
A source said to be close to Michael reports that the star’s fee for judging on BGT isn’t enough to make him pull out of stage shows, which net him a good deal more.
Speaking to The Sun, the source said, “Michael has been weighing it up for a while as he does like the show and enjoyed being on the panel.
“But his first love is comedy and he wanted to embark on a tour and concentrate on that.” Read more & comment »

Michael McIntyre was particularly blown away by one act on tonight’s Britain’s Got Talent show.
The TV funnyman was wowed when freaky performance troupe Circus Of Horrors took to the stage and showcased their talents which included singing, contortion, sword swallowing and a woman swinging around the stage by her hair.
He was quick to give them a yes when the act ended and when it was his turn to comment on their audition, Michael raved:

Nathan Wyburn, 21, made his TV debut on tonight’s Britain’s Got talent show, along with several slices of toast and Marmite.
The Fine Art student took to the stage in front of Amanda Holden, David Hasselhoff and Michael McIntyre and proceeded to assemble a portrait of the TV comic, using just the bread and spread.
It was an unusual but strangely engaging act and anyone could see McIntyre was chuffed to be the subject.

Michael McIntyre settles into his new role
Michael McIntyre has admitted that he fully expects Simon Cowell to criticise the acts he, David Hasselhoff and Amanda Holden chose in his absence.
Cowell did not attend the nationwide auditions for the ITV show but will return to the judging panel when the live semi finals start later this month.
Describing how he imagines the comeback will go, Michael told TV Times:
“Simon will have criticisms. There’ll be lots of footage of him in his sunglasses with his T-shirt a little bit tight, walking along a corridor saying, ‘They’ve ruined my show – who is this comedian? He said he was going to lose weight and look at the state of him!’”

Edward Reid brought something a bit different to Britain’s Got Talent on tonight’s show.
The camp drama teacher, who works with a pensioner group named the Nifty Fifties in Glasgow, said that performing on Britain’s Got Talent would change his life and added:
“If I got to perform at the Royal Variety Performance in front of the Queen, those five minutes in her presence would be amazing.”
He took to the stage to perform for Amanda Holden, David Hasselhoff and Michael McIntyre and we were expecting some sort of silly novelty act.
