Simon Cowell admits he stole the idea behind hugely successful 'Britain's Got Talent' from a rival

Simon Cowell admitted that he stole the idea for ITV's successful show 'Britain's Got Talent' which has been sold to many countries and draws in 9 million views just in the UK
PUBLISHED JAN 18, 2019

Simon Cowell recently admitted that he stole the idea for ITV's successful show 'Britain's Got Talent' from a rival of his and the music mogul added that the show would never have existed if it weren't for one of his competitors. 

As reported by Daily Mail, Simon appeared on The Paul McKenna Positivity Podcast and said, "I was watching another competing music show and a girl was murdering 'Get Here' by Olita Adams. I thought... You know what, I would actually rather watch a show about a singing dog. And that's how 'Got Talent' came along. And we developed it over a year and then we sold it. And this show will run for 20 years. We see a competing show and think: We will take a bit of that show and put it into ours."
