Michael McIntyre quits Britain's Got Talent, only Amanda Holden left
Do we have any Britain's Got Talent fans here? Anyone who's going to be upset if one of the judges leaves? Well, it's probably best you don't read on if that applies to you, partly because you really shouldn't care that much about things like this and partly because Michael McIntyre, the spud-faced public schoolboy judge has announced he's done with Britain's talent. Forever.
Incidentally, does anyone else think the show would be a lot funnier if they just put the word 'talent' in quotation marks? Or alternatively, put 'Britain' in quotation marks as well and then make the entire show about asylum seekers dancing and smashing cans with their breasts in the forlorn hope of winning a working visa.

So, as mentioned in the title, the headline and the intro, Michael McIntyre has said he's going to be leaving BGT after the end of this series in order to pursue his career as a comedian. (Via The Sun)
"I absolutely loved being a judge but have been itching to get back on stage myself. I wish the show and production team every success."
A source also said:
"Michael has been weighing it up for a while as he does like the show and enjoyed being on the panel, but his first love is comedy and he wanted to embark on a tour and concentrate on that."
This comes mere weeks after fellow judge David Hasselhoff was axed due to 'huge, insurmountable problems with him being such a desperately boring old fart' and has left Amanda Holden (or 'pregnant Amanda Holden' as The Sun described her) to steer the good ship BGT all by herself. That's right, a woman in charge of a primetime show. What's next? Cats sleeping with dogs?
Still, we're sure you're all looking forward to Michael being back on the road, making those hilarious acerbic comments about visiting supermarkets and florists that he does so well, maybe even talking about his kids and wife. Wonderful.
He's as funny as finding a strange lump in your arse, while Amanda NEEDS to stay on. With Blind Date and Les Dennis both finished, who else is going to employ her? This is a worthless show. The fact that even McIntyre's jumping ship says it all.
