Who are the Britain’s Got Talent judges?

One judge is often in the firing line thanks to her VERY risque BGT dresses

BRITAIN’S Got Talent has been a favourite amongst fans since it burst onto our TV screens in 2007.

But the ITV show wouldn’t be the same without the four charismatic judges who put the contestants through their paces.

Simon Cowell is the staple of Britain’s Got Talent and resumes his role as head judge.

The mogul is one of the most iconic figures in music and is responsible for offsetting the careers of many performers around the world.

Simon’s production company SyCo is also the team behind the show, so it’s always guaranteed he will be on the judging panel.

Speaking about why BGT continues to be a success, he told The Sun: “I always thought, if we can get three or four years out of this, it’ll be amazing.

“Then you reach ten years and you think, that’s a real milestone.

“Now so many people come from all over the world to compete.”

The mogul went on: “It’s not just about winning the show, it’s about having that viral moment, which can literally change your life overnight.

“I think that’s why people are going to come back year after year after year and keep competing and getting better.

“That’s what I’m seeing – the acts are actually, thank god, actually getting better.

“I think Britain’s Got Talent is going to be here for a long, long time. I really do.”

Thanks to Simon’s talent show’s like American Idol and The X Factor, we have stars like Kelly Clarkson and One Direction.

Away from the limelight and after years of having a string of different beauties on his arm, Simon has finally settled down.

The megastar is in a relationship with Lauren Silverman and they welcomed their son Eric Cowell in 2014.

The youngster can often be seen at BGT auditions and has been called dad Simon’s “lookalike” son many times.

The family live a VERY comfortable lifestyle with homes all around the world.

Amongst their impressive portfolio they have a huge £18M London property, as well as their Beverley Hills mansion.

The sexy star is a firm fixture on the judging panel, which has helped her to become a household name.

Amanda is best known for her bold outfits and witty comments.

Despite her racy dresses often getting Ofcom complaints, the style icon previously told The Sun why head judge Simon would never fire her.

Amanda told us: “Simon always says I’m like a competition winner, but I think I just still have an actor’s mentality that you never know when your next job is, so you make the most of the moment.”

When she’s not busy with BGT, she co-hosts the Heart Radio Breakfast Show with Jamie Theakston on weekday mornings.

Amanda has two daughters – Lexi and Hollie – with her husband Chris Hughes, who she married in 2008.

Thanks to her good work ethic, and also her killer body, she has launched a lucrative fashion career.

She has also made cash from selling her homeware range on TV shopping channel QVC.

Amanda’s daughter Lexi is also pursuing a career in modelling, after she bagged a top contract.
