Amanda Holden - Amanda Holden To Make Simon Cowell A Godfather

On this year's series of the talent show, Holden is joined by the Little Britain comedian David Walliams as well as Simon Cowell and Alesha Dixon. Cowell poached Alesha from Bbc's Strictly Come Dancing, which was the rival show to another of Cowell's talent shows, X Factor. Last year, Strictly. beat X Factor in the TV ratings for the first time in several years. Talking about the audition stages, Amanda told viewers that she had been moved to tears by a singer who performed 'Make You Feel My Love', the Bob Dylan song recently popularized by Adele. She admitted, though that she would like someone with a different talent than singing to win the show this year.

When asked how Alesha Dixon compares to the show's previous host, Kelly Brook, Amanda answered "she has a brain." She also joked about the possibility of giving birth whilst the show was being filmed, stating "Good lord, I'm not having anybody down that end on this show, thanks very much!"
