Alan Carr will join as the new panel member of the judges on Britain’s Got Talent after David Walliams confirmed his exit last month. The BBC comedian Alan Carr is the new replacement joining the rest of the panel, Simon Cowell, Alesha Dixon, and Amanda Holden.

The comedian Walliams, 51, left the ITV show Britain Got Talent after a decade of joining. His cause of exit has been his emerged recordings which surfaced online making vile sexual remarks about two contestants in January 2020.

The Mirror after the controversial exit of the former judge Walliams has predicted the much-loved comedian Alan Carr to take over from Walliams in November 2022, saying,

“They are after a male judge who needs to be funny. David leaves a big hole to fill and they need to get this right. The future of the show could depend on it.”

Here’s into the shock decision of David to leave the ITV talent show after ten years.

Fans seem excited as Alan in the new judge panel will be the one to bring the banter to the new series. A male comedian was seeking a replacement for the former one Walliams’ constant banter with head judge Simon Cowell was a huge part of the appeal.

The 46-year-old is also chosen as a replacement as the show bosses assume him to be perfect alongside Simon Cowell, 63, Amanda Holden, 51, and Alesha Dixon, 44.

Further, Walliams making crude sexual remarks about his two contestants during auditions in January 2020 was not acceptable.

Sources further revealed,

“Alan is hilarious but also kind. He tells a mean joke but he is also soft in the middle. The bosses are already excited about how wonderful he will be with the contestants. He will complement the panel so well too, he is really close friends with Amanda and he has known Simon and Alesha for years too.”
