“LEGENDARY 80s TV magician Paul Daniels has slammed Britain’s Got Talent – saying it proves that the country hasn’t got any!
The diminutive illusionist – one of British telly’s most successful stars – appeared on ITV2 follow-on show Britain’s Got More Talent this week to deliver his verdict on duo Deans Of Magic.
But blogging on his website, Wizbit creator Paul blasted Simon Cowell’s reality show.
He likes it, not a lot!
Before appearing on the programme, Paul wrote: “Tonight we are to pass opinions on Britain’s Got Talent, a show that seems designed to show that in the main Britain hasn’t.
“It is such a shame that they concentrate so much on showing us really bad specially-picked acts when the truth is that there are more than enough people who ARE really talented and will never be seen.
He added: “I am so tired of watching amateurs.”
The cheeky conjurer updated his blog after he and wife Debbie McGee had been on the show.
“We went off and did the Britain’s Got More Talent TV show,” he said.
“For the most part it was like watching a local Methodist Young Wives show and no matter how the studio tried to dress the stage, the scenery and the acts, it was still an amateur show.”
And sleight of hand star Paul, 70, also delivered a stinging verdict on the Deans Of Magic: “It’s a shame the magic act was so conceited, it was embarrassing.””

Do you agree with him?
So I would agree with him on that point but not on the whole show.
