Mamma Mia!.. here I go again

Carr: Why do I keep being a judge, I have no opinions

- NICOLA METHVEN and KATE BEGLEY

ALAN Carr says he never has much of an opinion, so he finds it odd that he has again been chosen as a judge on a TV show.

The comedian is on the panel on new search-for-a-star programme Mamma Mia! I Have a Dream.

Alan, who is also a judge on RuPaul's Drag Race UK as well as a spinoff series, almost got hired for Britain's Got Talent this year.

But he says he has forgiven show boss Simon Cowell for putting Bruno Tonioli on the panel instead.

Alan said of Mamma Mia!: "I do find it funny that for someone who doesn't have much of an opinion on anything, who just wafts through life like a piece of litter on the wind, this is my third judging role.

He added he finds it hard having to crush people's dreams when they get voted off shows.

He said: "I just want it over with. I'd rather have a trap door that you pull and they just go down rather than any lingering goodbyes."

Alan, 47, said the main reason he wanted the BGT job was to hang out with his pal Amanda Holden.

He added that working on ITV show Mamma Mia! - with three weeks filming in Corfu has been "the best laugh".
