Amanda Holden wants Dame Barbara Windsor on Britain’s Got Talent

Amanda Holden wants Dame Barbara Windsor to guest-judge on next year’s ‘Britain’s Got Talent’.
The 45-year-old beauty doesn’t want to change the running of the talent show as she doesn’t believe in "fixing something that’s not broken" but would love to see the legendary actress sit alongside her on the panel during the next series.
Speaking to BANG Showbiz, she said: "I think a guest-judge would be fun. I’d love Barbara Windsor, she could sit next to me. She can come to London. Different icons would be fun."
And, although she thinks the programme is in a league of its own, the blonde beauty has asked boss Simon Cowell if they can have a Judges Houses round like ‘The X Factor’.
She explained: "I’ve always wanted to do Judges Houses but there’s never enough time so that’s never happened. I think it would be brilliant if we were all given a category.
"It’s [‘Britain’s Got Talent’] the most exciting thing. It’s like Christmas Day and then when it’s over it’s like Boxing Day."
Meanwhile, although she’s close to Simon – who works with ITV – Amanda hasn’t ruled out rival ‘Strictly Come Dancing’.
Asked if she would turn down the chance to compete on the show out of loyalty, she said: "I’d turn it down out of lack of energy. It’s a great show and never say never but I don’t think I could do it now. It’s such hard work."
