Morgan: 'BB celebrates the talentless'

Piers Morgan has claimed that Britain's Got Talent is nothing like Big Brother.

Speaking to the Radio Times, Morgan said that "Big Brother is about celebrating the talentless".

"Britain's Got Talent is 100% about celebrating talent," he said. "It not only provokes genuine debate in a tough time for the country, it's put Britain back on the map as a producer of talent."

The show judge added: "I think that Susan Boyle has come as the antidote to the recession. In one little old lady from Scotland we have the cure to all known financial ills."
