Amanda Holden says next Britain's Got Talent includes never-before-seen moment

Amanda Holden says Britain's Got Talent fans are going to see something they've never seen before this weekend - and it includes Simon Cowell getting mobbed by hundreds of kids.

The judge was chatting on her Heart breakfast show with her co-host Jamie Theakston and fellow judge Alesha Dixon, who was live from her garden, when she revealed the surprise.

Amanda said that for the first time ever, Simon headed into a school to surprise a choir with an on-the-spot audition.

Talking about the way telly has changed lately, Amanda said: "We filmed this back in January, February when people were allowed to sit next to each other and we could lick people if we wanted!"

She laughed: "We could hug them, we could touch them, do you remember those days, Alesha?"

Alesha joked: "What? Of licking the audience?"

"Well David [Walliams] probably has in his time," Amanda mused.

The stars went on to talk about what's coming up this weekend, including a "sexy Doctor Who".

When the conversation turned to their fellow judge Simon, Amanda said: "Talking of Simon, we did something on the show this weekend that we've never done before.

"Do you remember when Simon went to that school, Alesha? And talked to, told a choir, surprised a choir... you tell the story."

Alesha said: "Well basically he turned up at this school and the choir didn't have a clue that he was coming, and they basically auditioned for Britain's Got Talent on that day, and they didn't know that they were doing it."

Amanda continued: "It was so lovely. They're called Class Dynamix, and he walked into the classroom and was basically knocked over by hundreds of little kids."

Alesha said it was a "beautiful moment" and something Simon never does, making it an even bigger deal for the kids.
