Simon Cowell and David Walliams have been feuding on ‘Britain’s Got Talent’.
The judges – who have always enjoyed light-hearted banter on the ITV show – have had a strained relationship during filming after Simon made a joke about David’s divorce from model Lara Stone.
Co-star Amanda Holden explained to Fabulous magazine: "David made it personal [first]… he dares it and Simon comes straight back in at him, and the joke ends there because he can always top David.
"He’s out-funnied David a lot this series. David is very p***ed off, actually."
However, Simon gave no hint of trouble between the pair when he joked about setting David up with "someone with bad eyesight".
He told The Sun: "It might be a little bit early. When he gives me the nod, I would be very, very, very happy to fix him up.
"I need to find someone with very, very bad eyesight and then we’d start from there.
"David is a pain. But it’s worth it."
And Simon also joked that Amanda and co-judge Alesha Dixon have gone over his head to ensure they return next season.
He said: "According to my tweet I’ve hired them all again already, but of course Amanda and Alesha typed that without telling me."
