It’s true that Walliams left the show under a definite cloud, and would have embarrassed Cowell, who created Britain’s Got Talent, and sees it as his baby. But now the matter is resolved, friends of Cowell’s have mysteriously been out briefing the media that he and Walliams are no longer on speaking terms. There is a theory that Cowell doesn’t want to be associated with his old friend as he’s nervous about what he’ll do – or what might possibly come out – next.
He also managed to slip in a mention of Eric the border collie, delivered in his typical deadpan styleIt was quite the contrast to 2012 when star-maker Cowell hired Walliams as a judge on BGT. He was said to have been paid six-figures for the job and he instantly became loved by all generations. Walliams, who catapulted to fame in the mid-noughties with Little Britain, was later ousted by Cowell.
An insider added: ‘The gags about Simon being gay stopped being funny a long time ago – he’s happily settled down with a family, and in the end it became annoying. It was pretty insulting for his partner, Lauren , too – who also didn’t really find it amusing in the end.
