Amanda Holden: 'I never feel safe with Cowell'

Amanda Holden has admitted that she never feels safe when Simon Cowell is around on Britain's Got Talent.

The reality TV judge, who performed with the cast of Shrek on last night's show, described Cowell as acting like a "pig-tail puller" behind the scenes on the programme.

Holden told Britain's Got More Talent: "I never feel safe with Simon around. Simon is really naughty. I call him a pig-tail puller. He changes things at the drop of a hat, he changes things in seconds.

"You never know when he is around. Things change. Anything is possible. It's exciting when he's around because of that."

Holden added when asked what Cowell whispers to her during the live shows: "He whispers all kinds of naughty things, but I can't tell you what they are. They're all secrets do with the show and stuff."

Speaking about coming out from behind the judges' desk for her first ever performance on the ITV1 contest, Holden said: "I felt like I was on a weird Doctor Who episode where both my lives collided together. But I looked out there and thought, there's only a couple of hundred people out there... I can do this."

Britain's Got Talent continues tonight at 7.30pm on ITV1.
