Q Do you enjoy returning to the judging panel with David Walliams, Alesha Dixon and, of course, Simon Cowell?

A It’s always fantastic. We have such a laugh and it feels embarrassingly easy!

Q What’s the standard of talent been like this year?

A Really strong. There have been some bizarre acts, though – we’ve got a dinosaur playing a keyboard and a unicyclist. Alesha and I both feel this year’s show feels more homegrown – it’s more like old-school BGT.

Q What kind of acts are your favourite?
