Jonathan Ross slams 'Talent' pair
Jonathan Ross has described Britain's Got Talent judges Piers Morgan and Amanda Holden as "a waste".

Speaking to singer Charlotte Church on her Channel 4 chatshow, the TV and radio host praised Simon Cowell but admitted that he was less enamoured with the talent show's other judges.

He said: "Simon Cowell knows what he's talking about, but Amanda Holden and Piers Morgan, they're just a waste...

"What's she ever done? She's been in a couple of West End shows; she's not got much going on. And Piers Morgan has been sculpted from lard. So I'm not a fan of those shows."

Ross also revealed that he would often try to embarrass his children by dressing in flamboyant attire.

He said: "I deliberately try to embarrass them. It's good for them, it toughens them up. I collect them from school and I used to deliberately try and find the stupidest outfit I could wear to go and get them from school.

"I used to wear hats and stuff like that and wait outside. Sometimes they would walk past and pretend I wasn't with them."
