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.

He told BANG Showbiz: “If I was asked who I want on that panel, I would go for someone like Adele. She’d be an amazing choice in terms of the music side of things.

“But in terms of an entertainer I’d love Peter Kay to do it. I think he’d be exceptionally good. For me personally, I want a comedian or a magician to win the show, I don’t necessarily want to see another singer to win next year.”

It has been rumoured that show boss Simon Cowell has asked former ‘X Factor’ judges Cheryl Cole and Dannii Minogue to join the show, but Stephen thinks this would be a bad call, as they are both too similar to current judge Amanda Holden.

Speaking as he launched the Febreze ‘breathe happy’ campaign, Stephen said:

“I don’t know it would work with either of them actually. I know Dannii does ‘Australia’s Got Talent’, she was on ‘This Morning’ recently and she hinted that she’d been spoken to about ‘BGT’.

“Cheryl’s a very good judge and we know that from ‘X Factor’. But Cheryl is too close to Amanda in terms of Amanda’s a West End performer and actress so she gives very good constructive criticism in terms of musical performance. I think Cheryl is quite close to that, as is Dannii. Have all three!”

Bangshowbiz today reports that the spoof track performed by Susan Boyle and Peter Kay for Comic Relief is set to become a global hit as it’s currently topping the iTunes chart.

The track was of course a spoof of the original Elaine Paige and Barbara Dickson hit, and saw Peter Kay singing as his alter ego Geraldine McQueen and Britain’s Got Talent finalist Susan Boyle in curly wig.

Fans in Australia, the US, Canada and Asia have reportedly “swamped” Comic Relief headquarters with calls asking where they can buy the track and video.

Speaking to Bang about making the video, Susan said, “I felt honoured when Peter asked me to take part in this video.

“His vision was clear from the start and I wanted to be involved.

“The video encapsulated the ethos of Comic Relief, having fun while raising money.”

The Comic Relief TV event on Friday raised a massive £74 million which smashed 2009′s record of £57 million, but of course, the ongoing sale of the track from iTunes is adding to the fund all the time.

After a slightly disappointing Downton Abbey sketch and a very mediocre Take That performance, tonight’s Comic Relief was lifted by the hilariously funny duet between Peter Kay and Susan Boyle.

The famous pair collaborated on the Chess song ‘I Know Him So Well’, originally a hit for Subo’s idol Elaine Paige and her pal Barbara Dickson.

The funniest things about the video was Susan’s HUGE eighties style hair, her equally large forehead and the fact that, at times, it was hard to tell which singer was the man in drag!

Watch the full video below and let us know what you think.

Peter Kay and Susan Boyle have recorded a duet in aid of Comic Relief.

The TV funnyman will appear as his well known character Geraldine McQueen in a collaboration with the Britain’s Got Talent star on a cover of Elaine Paige and Barbara Dickson’s ‘I Know Him So Well’.

The video for the song has already been recorded and will be shown during the BBC Comic Relief show tomorrow night.

Kay told The Bolton News:

“I just thought it would be a laugh and so I wrote to Susan Boyle and she was really up for it. She was great on the day and worked very hard. We filmed at studios in Salford and carried on from 8am to 1am the next morning.

“We stuck very closely to the original and when you see the Paige and Dickson version, you can see how similar they are. We have obviously added some funny bits in, but they are fairly subtle – I think it works better that way.”

He added: “I hope people will enjoy it and that it raises lots of money for Comic Relief.”

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?

Steve Sharp, Marks & Spencer’s Executive Director for Marketing, said: ‘This is one of the best Christmas campaigns we’ve ever put together.

‘It is very glamorous and lots of fun, truly capturing the spirit of the Christmas party season.

‘This is also the most integrated campaign we’ve ever put together.

‘There’s a seamless transition from TV to online and we have a strong presence across all media, from mainstream TV right through to social media.’

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.

“And on Britain’s Got The Pop Factor, he dressed very similar to the way I dressed on Pop Idol. But I absolutely adored that show. I didn’t get upset at it at all. I loved it.”

She added: “He wasn’t being nasty. I thought it was very funny.”

Simon Cowell is rumoured to have fallen out with pal, Pete Waterman after he took the mickey out of talent show judges on Peter Kay’s new Channel 4 comedy.

Pete told The Sun: “Simon isn’t returning my phone calls. He’s one of my best mates but has fallen out with me. He hasn’t got a sense of humour.”

Pete recently rang Simon to gloat about the Channel 4 show’s success.

He said: “I rang him so he could say, ‘Your comedy acting is genius, Pete’. But it seems he doesn’t think it’s at all funny.”

Peter Kay has beaten former X Factor winner, Leon Jackson, in the battle for number one single this week, with his spoof reality TV show song, )’The Winners Song.’

Kay’s single was co-written by himself and Gary Barlow and was featured in last weeks satire, Britain’s got the Pop Factor, which played on talent shows such as The X Factor and Pop Idol.

Kay charted at number two with Leon coming in at the number three spot. Pink beat both with her track, ‘So What.’

Geraldine sent a message of consolation to Jackson.

She said: “Leon is a lovely wee boy, he’s a Scottish Michael Buble. There’s enough room for everybody.

“I never knew he had a song because I’ve been in hospital all week – he’s not number one though is he? Isn’t it Pink? I love Pink, although I wouldn’t like to get on the wrong side of her.”
