Friday night. The comedian, 49, branded his Britain's Got Talent co-star, 61, 'the most untalented person' that's ever been on the show. David was being quizzed by
children when he made the sly remark, justifying his comment about Simon, by insisting: 'He just sits there and says no to people.' One of the children asked who 'the most
untalented person' is that David has ever had on Britain's Got Talent. Without missing a beat, the Little Britain comedian responded: 'Simon Cowell. He just sits there and
says no to people! We could all do that - that's not a talent.' Elsewhere, one of the children told David that they'd sent him a letter, because he is their 'second
favourite author.' The youngster hilariously admitted that their teacher had told them to write to David because JK Rowling would be too busy to reply. David's remark comes just
six weeks after it was announced that this year's series of Britain's Got Talent had been postponed until 2022 due to safety concerns amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. The
hit ITV talent show had already been postponed due to safety concerns and the restrictions brought about by tier systems and lockdowns. But several weeks of speculation, it was confirmed
that the show will now not return to screens until 2022. Bosses of the show said that despite the efforts of the teams at ITV, Thames and head judge Simon Cowell's Syco, they were
forced to call plans off. Past BGT winner Ashley Banjo was drafted in at the 11th hour to serve as his replacement on the show last year when it aired several months later than usual.
They said: 'With our absolute priority of safeguarding the well-being and health of every person involved in the programme from judges, hosts and contestants to all of the crew and
audience, the decision has been made to – unfortunately – move the record and broadcast of the 15th series of Britain’s Got Talent to 2022. 'BGT is known for its diversity of talent
with big dance groups, wonderful choirs and lavish orchestras at its heart, and it has become clear that not only is it not possible to film auditions with these types of acts in a secure
way but also that they are not able to adequately rehearse and prepare safely. 'Safety has to come first and, as a result, the recording of the show can’t currently go ahead as
planned.’ The show, which features judges Simon, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon, and David, has already faced its fair share of issues over the past year as, in addition to the pandemic, Cowell
was forced to bow out after breaking his back.
