Meet the judges: Simon Cowell
Simon Cowell is the staple of Britain's Got Talent, and resumes his role as head judge.
The mogul is one of the most iconic figures in music and is responsible for offsetting the careers of many performers around the world.
His production company SyCo is also the team behind the show, so it was guaranteed that Simon would be back on the judging panel.

Inside BGT’s chaotic return
As TV’s Mr Nasty, Simon Cowell used to be a stickler for the rules when it came to how his shows were run.
But as Britain’s Got Talent returns this week, his panel of judges have been behaving so badly they have been likened to The Muppets.
Hosts Ant and Dec say filming for the new series now overruns because there is so much chaos caused by Bruno Tonioli, Amanda Holden and Alesha Dixon.
Who are the Britain’s Got Talent judges and hosts?
Owner and founder of the show Simon Cowell is once again the judge of the show alongside Alesha Dixon and Amanda Holden with Bruno Tonioli joining the stellar panel.
Ant and Dec, who only waved goodbye to their Saturday Night Takeaway this month, will also return for the 17th season of the ITV show.
