In some ways, it may be refreshing if the show gets a brand new panel.
Simon stays where he is.
The Amanda role could be taken by some other kooky presenter/actress- someone like Holly Willoughby, Emma Willis, or maybe even poaching Claudia (it doesn’t clash with Strictly so she could do both). However, Claudia’s not really someone the tabloids tend to swoon over so Holly would probably be better in the role for the “style war”; and I also think her personality suits a Cowell show pretty well- she did pretty good on the Xtra Factor.
The Alesha role would probably be taken by one of his XF mates so someone like Cheryl, Nicole or Mel- all of whom have ties to the Got Talent franchise already- Cheryl was initially supposed to be on the panel before Amanda; Nicole has done the Aussie show; and Mel did the US show. Of those, Mel would be my pick because she’s very blunt and direct and isn’t afraid to stand up to Simon.
The David role going to someone like Bruno or Alan doesn’t seem to make that much sense to me, because it’s like replacing like for like- they could go for someone with a similar comedy background but a different personality- David Mitchell would bring a completely new lease of life to the show; Jack Whitehall could be a bit of eye candy and he’s quite a luvvie so would fit in to the panel; they could even change the gender dynamics on the panel and have another woman take the comedy slot- somebody like Miranda Hart or Jo Brand.
