But they're not exactly going to get a new panel is place by tomorrow, when audition filming begins.

I can imagine it'll all blow over, Amanda & Alesha will sign and Simon will get his own way with Bruno.

Assuming you're correct that they begin filming auditions tomorrow I'd be somewhat surprised if BGT didn't have all their judges/talent under contract at least a month prior.  At the end of the day usually nobody is irreplaceable, though changing multiple judges wouldn't be ideal for stability if done frequently (see X-Factor).  Speculation over who will or won't be judge along with this latest report feels more like a publicity machine in operation, rather than any real potential problem.

They're doing auditions tomorrow, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday & Sunday. Details here. Before 3 days in Manchester early February.
