David Walliams: BGT snobs are no longer snubbing the show

OHMYGOSSIP — David Walliams says “snobby” acts are no longer turning their noses up at ‘Britain’s Got Talent’.
The actor and comedian – who’s been a judge on the talent show since 2012 alongside Simon Cowell, Alesha Dixon and Amanda Holden – believes some of this year’s wannabes may have previously not considered trying out for the programme, but since the pandemic they have “relished the opportunity” to take part in such a show.
The 50-year-old star said: “I think some people who might have been a bit snobby about doing the show have come on this year because they felt like, ‘Well, the last year or so has been so tough, we need this. We would relish this opportunity to have this exposure, and have the chance of being at the Royal Variety Show.’ ”
David also admitted the vibe during this year’s auditions was “celebratory”, after last year’s series was axed over safety concerns due to the pandemic.
He said: “I think it’s pretty celebratory, because if you’re a performer, you’re out doing clubs, and pubs and things, you might not have had an opportunity to perform for a long time.
“So I could see it was quite emotional for people to be back on stage.
“Obviously, people are emotional to go on stage in the [London] Palladium, because it’s the home of entertainment in the UK, the likes of Judy Garland, Frank Sinatra, Liza Minnelli have all been on that stage.
“There is something really magical about going on stage and 3,000 people are all giving a round of applause. It’s a wonderful feeling.
“Not everyone gets to do that. I mean, most people don’t. Most of us don’t, who maybe aren’t performers, get to experience that. So I think it’s kind of emotional and meaningful.”
