Stephen Mulhern says Simon Cowell WON’T sack any of the Britain’s Got Talent judges for ‘at least’ four years

STEPHEN Mulhern doesn't think Simon Cowell will sack any of the Britain's Got Talent judges for "at least four years".

The Britain's Got More Talent host appeared on today's Lorraine to discuss the return of his spin-off programme and the main ITV show.

Stephen, 40, has been the host of More Talent since the series began 12 years ago and told Christine Lampard he is one of the only people who has been part of it every year alongside Ant and Dec and judge Amanda Holden.

The current judging panel consists of Amanda, Alesha Dixon, David Walliams and show boss Simon Cowell.

And Stephen doesn't think the line-up will change any time soon.

He said: "The judges have been the same for seven years.

"I don't think they'll change for the next two, three, four years.

"Unlike The X Factor I think Britain's Got Talent will stay the same.

"It just works, everyone gets on and everyone has a good time."

Asked about Simon, 58, and what he's been like so far this series, Stephen said he is "more relaxed than he's ever been".

He said: "I don't know that's whether it's because [his son] Eric is a bit more older, Eric came to the auditions.

"He's just more chilled. He's still strict, you've got to work hard still but he seems more chilled out."

Stephen's comments come a day after Simon revealed how funnyman David, 46, is "unsackable".

Speaking on yesterday's Lorraine, the music mogul told The Sun's Dan Wootton: "I think he's always been unsackable.

"I do remember the first time I ever sat down with him, he came into the dressing room while I was doing The X Factor and I pitched him the show.

"We had one of the worst meetings I've ever had, when I say it was bad, it was bad and I thought 'this is never going to happen'.

"Then a year later we had another conversation and he agreed to it.

"To be fair, he and the show are a perfect match because he gets all the craziness and a lot of the people who come on the show, they're like the people he used to be on Little Britain, that's why he gets it.

"But all three of them, the reason I like working with them, is that they're all absolutely focused on the talent."
