“If I organised the stag party for him, I think I’d organise a night in a restaurant, a bit of entertainment,” David continued.

You know, he doesn’t have any real friends, so he’ll likely invite all his showbiz mates or people he’s worked with he hasn’t sacked.

“Then I’d get up and do a sort of performance about Simon to make him cringe.”

A bitter bromance

Simon and David regularly make digs at each other, especially when in the middle of filming Britain’s Got Talent.

Earlier this year, Simon was said to have blasted the Little Britain star after he made a crass comment about one of the show’s contestants.

The Sun reported David asked a hopeful contender whether his talent is “getting his [blank] out”.

As a result, Simon was reportedly “visibly angry” and “exploded” at David.

However, the comedian was said to have batted away any criticism, going on to rib Simon about his age and weight.

The audition is said to link to movie musical The Greatest Showman, which stars Hugh Jackman.

Joining the men on the panel are fan favourites Alesha Dixon and Amanda Holden.

It’s hard to believe the foursome have been judging the show for 10 years.

But the fans are happy with the fab four, who will once again be joined by presenters Ant and Dec.
