Simon Cowell reveals future of Britain's Got Talent… after the show was CANCELLED by ITV days before filming started 18 years ago


Simon Cowell has revealed the future of Britain's Got Talent - after the show was cancelled by ITV days before filming started 18 years ago.

The music mogul told MailOnline he intends on making the TV juggernaut for years to come and hopes the show will surpass 20 series (pictured with Piers Morgan and Amanda Holden in 2007) He said: 'This show has a very interesting story about when we first started because we did the pilot here and it was rubbish and then luckily, we sold it to America and it was a hit and then thank God, ITV bought it... but three days before we were due to film, they cancelled it. Britain's Got Talent launched with Ant & Dec as hosts back in 2007 with Simon revealing the show almost didn't make it on TV due to having a 'rubbish' pilot (pictured in 2007)
