Britain’s Got Talent have been forced to postpone the first of the auditions for the new series after judge Simon Cowell fell ill.
They were due to kick off at the Hippodrome theatre in Birmingham on Thursday but the day has now been cancelled due to Simon’s ill health.
Simon felt unwell in the last 24 hours. Judges often miss the odd audition because they don’t feel great – Simon, for example, has long suffered with migraines.
A show insider told the Sun: ‘Simon felt unwell in the last 24 hours. Judges often miss the odd audition because they don’t feel great – Simon, for example, has long suffered with migraines.
‘But it was decided, as this was the first audition of the series, it was best to postpone – so we could launch with everyone on the panel. He’s on the mend now – and hoping to be fighting fit for tomorrow.’
A BGT spokesperson said: ‘Due to unforeseen circumstances today’s filming of Britain’s Got Talent has been postponed.’
