Britain's Got Talent Eat Your Heart Out !!
History[edit]
The show's format was devised by The X Factor creator and Sony Music executive Simon Cowell, who has created many Got Talent series across the globe. A pilot episode was filmed in September 2005,[3] with the judging panel consisting of Cowell, then-This Morning presenter Fern Britton, and tabloid journalist Piers Morgan.[3] It was originally planned that the show would be broadcast in 2006 and presented by Paul O'Grady (who had become popular thanks to his teatime chat show, The Paul O'Grady Show) with the title Paul O'Grady's Got Talent.[4] However, after defection to Channel 4 for The Paul O'Grady Show, he refused to appear on another ITV show, so the show was put on hold.[5] The pilot remained unbroadcast on television until it was shown during The Talent Show Story in January 2012.[3] In a 2010 interview, O'Grady said, "I did the pilot for Britain's Got Talent – which was originally going to be called Paul O'Grady's Got Talent. But I told the producers they were having a joke if they thought I would front a show with that title. The original panel of judges was going to be Simon Cowell, Fern Britton and Piers Morgan. I was the host. Then when I had the row with ITV I was banned from the studios. I remember I rang Simon and told him he had a huge hit on his hands, but there was no way I could do it. I said, if I am banned I have to be banned from everything. I can’t be a hypocrite and come in and do this. I had to bow out."[6]
On 12 February 2007, following the success of America's Got Talent the previous year, it was announced that the show would air in June 2007 with Cowell, Morgan (who had also judged America's Got Talent) and actress Amanda Holden as judges. Ant & Dec were announced as presenters, with Stephen Mulhern as the presenter of ITV2 spin-off series Britain's Got More Talent.
