‘On top of that he can use his show to promote these stars. This could work out really well in the short and long term. And of course an added bonus is that Simon could introduce British acts from BGT there by having them in as special guests.’

Other iconic BGT stars who have enjoyed international success include Susan Boyle, Paul Potts and dance act Twist and Pulse.
Magician Shin Lim (who appeared in 2018’s series), singer Michael Grimm (2010) and classical crossover singer Jackie Evancho (2010) are some of the most famous winners of America’s Got Talent, while the likes of Susan, dance group Diversity (both in 2009) and dog-human act Ashleigh and Pudsey (2012) are some of the UK’s biggest successes.
