I am planning to give the whole reality/talent/celeb thing a miss this year, I knew this was coming on at the weekend but kept quiet hoping that that the rest of the family wouldn't notice, and it would fly under the radar.
Unfortunately the kids got wind of it, and on it went. So I retired to my mancave to wait until it was over.
I was drawn back in by the kids laughter coming from across the hall and watched a bit of it. Now I feel dirty (and not because of my impure thoughts about Amanda Holden). It's a tired formula that has run its course. Lots of deluded people lining up to be laughed at.
It's is a little better than X Factor because of the range of acts, but not by much. If I'm around next week, I'll stick on some headphones and hide.
