Could Piers return to BGT?
According to The Sun, Piers could bring an “edge” back to the show.
An insider revealed: “Britain’s Got Talent is one of the few Saturday night shows which continues to shine and stay relevant.
“But all shows need refreshing, and Piers will certainly do that. He has been approached by two senior execs and, for his part, has said he would do it if the terms are right.”
They added: “He will give the show back its edge and provide those brilliant water cooler moments, he will revitalise the series.”
David previously signed a a year extension to his ITV contract, taking him to 2021.
Meanwhile, Piers’ contract with GMB comes to an end next year.

A source told the Mail Online: “I heard that David threw his toys out of the pram. Imagine David and Piers sitting on either end of that judging panel – what great TV it would have been.”
However, Piers confirmed in a separate Mail column that he was indeed approached for the role.
Piers wrote: “Amusingly, I was quickly sounded out to see if I was potentially available but had to explain that if I was confined to the same close quarters as that insufferable twerp David Walliams, it wouldn’t end well.”
The GMB star also said in an interview with The Mirror that David “makes his skin crawl”.
