news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7839084.stmKelly Brook was sensationally sacked as a Britain's Got Talent judge after only 6 days! Apparently the new format wasn't working! Simon Cowell has said that "we will never add another judge to the panel". The current panel consists of Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden and Piers Morgan. I wonder what the real reaon was for her being axed!

Brook was reportedly on a £200,000 contract - i wonder how much of that she'll get? Probably most of it
The winner only gets £100,000 which seems absurd when you think what the 'judges' get!

From Digital Spy:
Kelly Brook is "beside herself" about being axed from Britain's Got Talent, say reports.
Simon Cowell and Talkback Thames confirmed the model and actress, 29, had been removed from the judging panel earlier today. Brook was only unveiled as the fourth judge on the talent show last week.
"I have spoken to Kelly and she is very upset," a source told the Daily Mail. "Her agent broke the news just before she got on a flight with [boyfriend] Danny [Cipriani] and she was beside herself.
"She feels it is very unfair to do this to her after such a short time as she was just getting into the swing of things. She started off a bit shakey but she was getting better towards the end of the Manchester auditions."
Producers claimed that Brook was dropped because operating with four judges made the show too complicated. However, according to tabloid reports, Brook feels she was used as a "publicity tool".
"Kelly was given no help whatsoever," an insider told The Mirror. "She was effectively hired only hours before she started the job so had no time to prepare. Nobody bothered to give her any pointers and she felt frozen out by the rest of the team. They're very cliquey."
Brook's previous TV work includes hosting The Big Breakfast, the first series of Celebrity Love Island and Living's Dirty Dancing: The Time Of Your Life.
Britain's Got Talent returns to ITV in May.

I wondered why she was chosen to be a judge on a talent show. She hasnt got any talent of her own - so she has nothing to base her views on. Its a bit like me being asked to judge a weight loss competition !

I think it must have become clear to Simon Cowell that there's a difference to having a pretty face and just being a pretty face..  On an aside.. one of the young volunteers on my scheme is in a dance group who have got as far as auditioning in front of Simon Cowell on Monday 2nd Feb..! If they get through - look out for Hyp..

I read another reason for her being dropped was because the contestants need two out of three votes to go through to the next round, and having four judges would've made it too difficult! Surely they should've thought of that before hiring Kelly in the first place?! Disgraceful! Having said that, i am pleased they stuck to three judges, i like the current format!
