Cowell's Gum Habit Leads to BGT Ban!
1 Mar
Summary
- Producers banned Simon Cowell from chewing gum.
- Cowell's gum habit caused a mess under the desk.
- Fellow judge Amanda Holden notes Cowell's return to form.
Britain's Got Talent producers have reportedly enforced a chewing gum ban on judge Simon Cowell. The decision stemmed from Cowell's habit of leaving gum residue and wrappers under his desk during auditions, creating a persistent mess. This issue escalated recently when a wad of gum was discovered stuck to his trousers during filming.
Cowell himself has previously admitted that his loud gum-chewing, particularly of CB12 gum, is an "annoying habit" that irritates those around him. Meanwhile, fellow judge Amanda Holden has noted a shift in Cowell's on-screen persona this year. She commented that he has moved past his recent 'Mr. Soft' phase and is reverting to his famously direct and critical judging style, which she finds refreshing.
The new series of Britain's Got Talent aims to offer viewers unprecedented access behind the scenes. Cowell stated that the intention is to reveal more about the show's production, including contestant experiences and the operational intricacies. This approach seeks to provide an authentic, 'circus-like' glimpse into the chaos that brings the show to life.
