Stephen Mulhern has detailed his Britain’s Got Talent judging wishlist.
After it was revealed that Michael McIntyre will not be returning to the show for the 2012 series and that David Hasselhoff may have been sacked from the panel, the amateur magician admitted that he would loved to see both Adele and Peter Kay joining the lineup.
The 34-year-old star – who presents ITV2 spin-off show ‘Britain’s Got More Talent’ – claims that the ‘Rolling In The Deep’ hitmaker and the TV funnyman would be “exceptionally good” replacements for the outgoing panel members.

We just love the new Marks and Spencer ad for Christmas!
The disco themed advert stars usual models Dannii Minogue, Twiggy, Lisa Snowdon, Ana Beatriz Barros, VV Brown as well as new male faces Jamie Redknapp and Peter Kay.
The stars are seen in the video below, busting some moves to the iconic Bee Gees track You Should Be Dancing. We loved Peter’s comedic routines, however does anyone else think that Jamie got off very lightly by playing the DJ role?

Former Pop Idol winner, Michelle McManus has said that she wasn’t offended when she realised that Peter Kay’s Geraldine McQueen was based on her.
On the Channel 4 parody, Britain’s Got The Pop Factor…. McQueen, wore similar outfits to Michelle, sported an almost identical hairstyle and ‘The Winner’s Song’ single cover was eerily similar to the cover of Michelle’s debut album The Meaning Of Love.
Speaking to the Daily Record, McManus admitted: “Peter looks identical to me. He’s a big guy. I’m a big girl. Put a wig on him and he really did look like me on Pop Idol. Just look at the album cover.
