BRITAIN’S Got Talent boss Simon Cowell is to give up his seat on the judging panel and has hinted close friend Jordan could take his place.

Cowell, 50, will take a more behind-the-scenes role next year because he has had enough of sitting through thousands of auditions.

Jordan's close friend Simon Cowell claims the ITV show, which last year notched up record ratings of almost 20million for the final, is now big enough to carry on without him on camera.

Tonight, viewers will get a taste of the future when X Factor judge Louis Walsh, 57, sits in Cowell’s seat. He covered for Cowell when he was struck down by flu.

Even though the new series only gets going tonight, Cowell has already hinted the show will look very different in 2011.

He wants a brand new face to join Piers Morgan, 45, and Amanda Holden, 39, for the auditions and he will only return to the show for the live stages of the contest. Cowell said: “I am looking at whether I have a different role next year. I am considering coming just for the semi-finals. I like the show but it takes a hell of a lot of time.

“You sit there watching horrific acts and you think: ‘I genuinely can’t do this any more.’

“Can I see it working without me? Yes.”

His revelation has led to huge speculation about who could take his place.

Top of the hit list is glamour girl Kate Price, 31.

Asked if she could join the show, he teased: “Well those are your words not mine. But Jordan is a friend. It’s too early to say what will happen.

“Whoever takes over has to really know what they are talking about. You have to spot a star, nurture them, mentor them.”

Meanwhile, newlyweds Jordan and Alex Reid spent another day lapping up the Egyptian sun yesterday, a day after the cage-fighter pulled out of next month’s clash with Tom “Kong” Watson, 27.

Alex, 34, larked about in his stepson Harvey’s wheelchair after he hurt his knee while filming a TV show about the build-up to his fight with Watson.

Jordan treated Egyptians to another show of her famous boobs as she got her kit off and sunbathed topless in Sharm el-Sheikh.

Britain’s Got Talent airs tonight on ITV1 at 8pm.

[Harry!]

What talent does Jordan possess other then being a attention seeking *****?

[Jack_]

Oh God no.

[Jords]

I wouldnt mind tbh, though Simon is the main judge, 1 of the other 2 would be better to be replaced.

[ILoveTRW]

its the daily star

[Enid]

I would actually pay to see that.

[Braden]

I would like her to be a judge, but not in the place of Simon Cowell

[Shasown]

BGT may be big enough to survive without Cowell, but is it big enough to survive with Jordan as a judge, somehow I dont think so, I also dont think Mr Cowell is daft enough to risk it.

[Ruth*Star]

Oh thats wonderful ...

/sarcasm

[Possiblehousemate]

That would be cool!

Are you serious - Daily Star - don't buy a word of it!

[Patrick]

Simon's quitting it all isnt he.

American Idol, Britains Got Talent and of course X Factor.

Its a big shame tbh, hes amazing.

BGT and XF and AI are going to struggle without him on the judging pannel.

[BigBrotherfan4ever]

Surely this got to be windup

[Tom4784]

Chances are it's true that he wants to leave as other publications have covered it and he has said in the past that he wants to be less involved in shows by 2011. I don't believe for a second that Jordan would take over though. Louis Walsh is probably a safer bet.

It's only speculation, it's not fact.

Yep very true.

[Firewire]

Why do people still call her Jordan?

It wouldn't work. You need at least 2 male judges in a talent show to keep that on screen dominance war that comes out in the way they speak to eachover

4 judges?
its not like they need 3 is it

[Jordan.]

I wouldnt mind if she did, doubt it though.

[Callum]

It's the Daily Star so what do you expect? I highly doubt they are close friends and why the hell would Simon Cowell want Katie Price as judge on BGT? Just doesn't make sense.
