BGT's David Walliams Banned From Making Jokes

Britain’s Got Talent’s new judge David Walliams has revealed he has been banned from making jokes about Simon Cowell’s height, campness and his ex-girlfriend Sinitta.

Speaking to BBC 2 Radio yesterday, David said: "I meet the producers before Simon arrives and I say, 'Can you make jokes about Simon?' and they go, 'What, what kind of jokes?'

"I said, 'Well, I dunno. Jokes about his height?' 'Absolutely no way!'

"'What about jokes about his friendship with Sinitta?' 'No!' 'Jokes about him being camp?' 'He detests jokes about him being camp.'"

However, the comedian has ignored the ban, and admitted that he loves making the odd jibe at Simon. He revealed: "The first person comes on the stage and they say, 'Oh, my dream is to perform in front of the Queen.'

"I say, 'Well, he's right here, go ahead!' "Simon's laughing, the audience are laughing and it's all good.

"I didn't need to worry because he's got a great sense of humour and he's like the king and I'm the court jester."

David also admitted that he has found rejecting bad contestants easier than he thought: “I thought the hardest thing would be pressing the buzzer because I'm an actor, I've been in an audition and I know what it's like to get rejected.

“It's tough but actually sometimes people are rubbish and you want them to stop what they're doing. Also sometimes you want to save their embarrassment because the audience are shouting, 'Off' so you wanna press the buzzer so they don't humiliate themselves any more.”
