Amanda Holden 03.08Amanda HoldenAre Amanda Holden's claws sharpened and has she got her quirky quips on cue?

We had a chat to the Britain’s Got Talent judge...

And boy did she dish us some fab goss on the new show.

With auditions currently underway, Amanda told us all about the upcoming series in a chat on the red carpet at the Children’s Champions Awards.

She said:"It (finding people) took us a lot longer this year, and Simon (Cowell) spat his dummy out on several occasions, but it’s a better show than last year in my opinion.

"Last year I think was a very emotive show, and very highly emotional, this year I watched it with a different eye."

So, who’s her hot tip for the next sensation a la last year’s winner Paul Potts?

"I think it might be a much younger version (of him) and I think it might be a girl."

Well, we do declare our fancy is now tickled and our appetite stirred up.

Bring on Britain’s best talent.

The Children’s Champions Awards will be shown on Sunday 16th March at 6pm on Sky One.
