Cowell pleased with "barmy" new show

Simon Cowell has revealed that Britain's Got Talent is the most "barmy" show he has ever worked on.

The music mogul explained that he is proud to be a part of the wacky programme, which follows the search for a unique act to perform at the Royal Variety Show.

"It's the craziest show on Earth," Cowell told The Sun. "Where else could you find a 73-year-old granny rapper, a woman with a bizarre relationship with her horse and a bald bloke who wears what looks like a dartboard on his chest?

"I've never worked on anything so barmy. There were thousands of these people queuing for auditions - it was a real circus."

Britain's Got Talent starts next Saturday on ITV1.
