All four judges appeared on the episode and chatted on a couch.
“He’s asked me whether I want to sing on BGT next year and I’ve said yes,” Amanda revealed.
“Providing it’s live,” Simon joked back.
“Of course it’s live!” Amanda laughed.
“Are you going to audition for all of us now?” Simon asked.
“I just signed a deal with Virgin, I don’t need to audition,” Amanda said.
