Alan Carr is said to be replacing judge David Walliams on the next season of Britain’s Got Talent.
The Chatty Man comic, 46, is rumoured to be joining Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, and Alesha Dixon on the yearly show’s panel for series 16.
Walliams’ future on the show was reportedly ‘up in the air’ in November 2022, with rumours flying that the Little Britain star, 50, had departed after a decade on the panel.
The author apologised the following month after a leaked audio recorded him calling an elderly participant on the talent programme the C-word three times.
According to a transcript leaked to the Guardian, David also said of a female hopeful: ‘She’s like the slightly boring girl you meet in the pub that thinks you want to f*** them but you don’t.’
His slurs were caught up by a microphone used to record conversations between him and other judges Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, and Alesha Dixon in January 2020 at the London Palladium.
Britain’s Got Talent returns later this year.
