Veteran judge Demi Lovato insisted there won’t be any drama between the foursome, saying, “Nobody likes to watch drama unfold on a panel… we’re having fun.”
“Britain’s Got Talent” judge Simon Cowell got an unusual surprise on live TV during the show’s finale on Saturday.
As he and other judges Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon, and David Walliams watched a performance of "The Impossible Dream" by Welsh opera singers Richard and Adam Johnson, a woman suddenly appeared onstage between the two singers and began pelting the judging panel with eggs.
Take a look (the egging happens about two minutes in)!
