She also hinted that she knows her job isn’t a guarantee every year - and if Simon decides to shake things up, she could be shown the door in future years.
She said, “It would be awkward but it doesn’t safeguard the job, because Simon isn’t frightened of change.

For the time being though, her job is safe, and she is returning to the screens for the new series of Britain’s Got Talent, which starts tonight on ITV.
