«Breaking News» Simon Cowell confesses he 'STOLE the idea' for Britain's Got Talent from a rival music show

Simon Cowell has revealed that he stole the idea for Britain's Got Talent from a rival music show.

Speaking on The Paul McKenna Positivity Podcast, the music mogul, 59, said he began to think up the idea for BGT when he said he would prefer to see a singing dog, over someone taking part in another music show.

It comes as the ITV primetime mainstay is set to kick off auditions for its 13th series on Friday, which will also see host Ant McPartlin's first day back at work following his drink-driving arrest in March.

Surprising: Simon Cowell has revealed that he stole the idea for Britain's Got Talent from a rival music show

Simon explained: 'It was just an idea I had in the kitchen one day, I was watching another competing music show and a girl was murdering Get Here by Olita Adams.

'I thought do you know what I would actually rather watch a show about a singing dog.

'And that's how Got Talent came along. And we developed it over a year and then we sold it. And this show will run for 20 years.'

Back soon: Also in the interview Simon vowed that he could see BGT running for 20 years, as auditions are about to begin for the 13th series

The star went on to admit he doesn't like seeing his show business rivals performing well with TV formats of their own, and likes to take inspiration from them and channel it into his own shows.  

'We see a competing show and think: we will take a bit of that show and put it into ours,' he said.

'But I am still incredibly competitive. When I see a competing show starting to do well I actually feel physically sick.

'I don't like my friends to do well. I really don't. Jealousy in a weird way is good for you. If you are not jealous of your competitors you are not going to win.'

Coming back: For the new series Simon will be back on the judging panel alongside Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and David Walliams

The next series of BGT will once again see Simon appear alongside Amanda Holden, David Walliams and Alesha Dixon on the judging panel, with Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly returning as hosts.

Last year Dec was forced to host the live shows solo after Ant took a break from presenting duties in the wake of his drink-drive arrest.

But it was confirmed this week that Ant will be back to present the show when the auditions kick off in London on Friday, with the series set to being airing sometime in April.

Big return: The new series will also mark Ant McPartlin's return to work after his drink-drive arrest in March, as auditions for the new series being filming in London on Friday

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
