Britain’s Got Talent judges in new feud as Sharon Osbourne slams former co-star as a ‘little b****’
BRITAIN’S Got Talent former judge Sharon Osbourne has kicked off a new feud with ex co-star David Walliams calling him a “little b***h”.
It comes after it was revealed that comedian David is suing BGT bosses after he was axed from ITV show over X-rated rant about contestant.
TalkTV star Sharon, 70, joined the The Talk panel on Wednesday night as she discussed her former co-star and how the footage was “leaked”.
Sharon said: “Look, when you’ve been working like 12 hours and you’re floundering and really just want to sleep – you say things to each other to really try and buck each other up.
“You giggle and sometimes it is inappropriate.
“I’m not saying I’ve been an angel my entire life and I don’t say to a co-host…even something sexual but we’re mates and I’m not going to lie, you do it but it’s not serious, it’s banter to keep everyone up.
“But it’s totally wrong how this tape got out – how did it get out?
“We all know how it works, it was obviously leaked by a sound man, a producer, a runner.
“Why did they do that? Why didn’t they do that in private.”
Her co-host Daisy McAndrew asked: “But don’t you think it’s interesting that very often the people who are the victim of leaks are people who are quite unpopular?
Sharon replied: “And David is know as being a b**** – lets be honest here. I’m sure I’m known as being the C word, but he is known as being a b****, but it’s still wrong.”
This isn’t the first time that Sharon has taken a pop at the ITV talent show.
Chatting on The Talk earlier this year, Sharon explained: “But I think it’s kind of like a variety show, and you can only go so long before you’ve trawled everything.
“These types of shows I think are very dated.”
She added: “It’s over trawled here, so they bring talent from around the world – like they do in America.
“They’ll bring all Europeans over, just like they stood in line to rehearse when it’s set up before.”
It comes after Little Britain star David, 52, is seeking significant damages after he was dropped from the ITV show in November last year.
He stepped down after a transcript of comments he made about contestants during a break in filming was leaked.
He called one OAP a “c***” three times and said of another: “She thinks you want to f*** her, but you don’t.”
The derogatory remarks were picked up on his microphone during auditions at the London Palladium in January 2020.
David apologised after the comments were made public at the end of last year.
He and lawyers argued they were part of private conversations that were never intended for broadcast.
But he resigned from the show two weeks later.
He is now going to war with BGT production company, Fremantle, over the damaging leak.
Amid the legal battle, the star’s friendship with co-star Simon Cowell has also suffered a hit.
