BGT 2023: David Walliams replacement ‘revealed’ as Alan Carr?

While bookies guessed that stars like Mo Gilligan or Joel Dommett might replace David on the popular ITV series, the Daily Mail is now reporting that Alan is set to replace the judge.

Alan is a much-loved comedian, known for his Channel 4 series Alan Carr: Chatty Man and his Epic Gameshow series on ITV.

The Daily Mail reports that he will join judges Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, and Alesha Dixon when Britain’s Got Talent returns this year.

Alan is also a close friend of Amanda, and they recently released their own show – Amanda and Alan’s Italian Job on BBC.

The comic and presenter had announced he and his husband Paul Drayton split last year after 13 together last year.

A source close to the show reportedly told the Daily Mail: “The bosses are already excited about how wonderful he will be with the contestants.

“He will complement the panel so well too, he is really close friends with Amanda and he has known Simon and Alesha for years too.
