Britain’s Got Talent 2023 - Tvfanboy - 24-11-2022
David Walliams has quit Britain’s Got Talent after a leaked chat.
Who would be a good replacement?

Ashley Banjo’s probably quite high up in the reckoning.
However they need to get the panel dynamic right, and whilst he was a great stand in for Simon I can’t help but think that they’d need someone a bit more comedic filling in for Walliams.

John bishop keeps coming to my mind or Alex horne

Do they though? The original panel was Simon, Amanda, and Piers Morgan. No comedian there, it was a music producer, an actress, and a journalist. When Piers left he was replaced by David Hasselhoff and Michael McIntyre (another actor and a comedian), and when they left after only one series Alesha and David (a singer and comedian) joined the show. Since that original line-up didn't have a comedian, David's replacement doesn't have to be one, and I can definitely see it being dancer and ex-contestant Ashley Banjo.
Looks like ITV are denying the reports from the Sun and Mirror newspapers.

I don’t think TVViewer is claiming it’s a legal requirement for them have to a comedian on the panel, just that it’s a balance that’s worked well for the last decade. If that go down that route they might look to one of the two comedians from this years I’m A Celeb.

Babatunde is quite a good idea actually.

Piers obviously had (and has) a very unique personality which balanced out well with the rest.
Banjo was a fantastic substitute for Simon and may well work but I'm not sure if that 'golden' balance would be achieved. Good idea with the I'm A Celeb comedians, Stephen Mulhern also came to mind but I doubt that'll happen.

I’d love to see Katherine Ryan on a show like this. Jimmy Carr would be entertaining (he’s great on I Can See Your Voice) but I think there’d be a risk of it becoming the Jimmy Carr show.

I'd be interested in seeing Paul O'Grady do it, he did the original pilot many moons ago so wouldn't be a total novice, although the pilot is very different to what BGT has become.
Another suggestion I think might be good for the audience would be Bradley Walsh, although there's a danger of overkill with using him on another major ITV show.
I think the panel needs someone who's 'done it', if you know what I mean. Someone that's had success with their own gig and both of these would fit that role. There aren't many 'old-school' type entertainers/presenters around these days though.

I was thinking Bradley Walsh too, I think he'd be a good fit (not to mention that he's a talented singer and actor so would actually have some knowledge of at least some of what he's judging).
