Dermot O'Leary shares emotional advice from Simon Cowell as he fronts new show away from ITV


This Morning presenter Dermot O'Leary has been a mainstay on British TV for almost three decades - and he's set to host a new comedy game show, Silence is Golden

This Morning's Dermot O'Leary opened up on his past X Factor days and dishing out why he's more selective about his roles now. Speaking about why he's diving into this new venture, Dermot confessed: "It wasn't necessarily I wanted to do a comedy game show. However, things took an awkward turn when Simon's fellow BGT judge Bruno Tonioli seemed frustrated during a conversation about a contestant on Britain's Got Talent, telling off host Alison Hammond for being "nasty" when she jokingly suggested that a "lie detector" could verify the authenticity of the moment.
