Judge's role 'in doubt' on ITV's family show

BRITAIN'S Got Talent judge David Walliams has apologised for X-rated and disrespectful comments” made about contestants during filming breaks for the ITV talent show.

The comedian, 51, was recorded making derogatory remarks about participants auditioning for the show at the London Palladium in January 2020. According to a leaked transcript, Walliams allegedly referred to an older performer as a c***” three times when he was out of earshot, following an unsuccessful audition.

During his audition, the contestant had engaged in light-hearted banter with the judges in which he made a jibe about Walliams.

Walliams comments were picked up by microphones used to capture discussions between the judges when they are seated at their desk.
