TV talent judges a waste, says Ross
1:08pm Friday 25th July 2008
Jonathan Ross has hit out at Britain's Got Talent judges Amanda Holden and Piers Morgan, saying the pair are "just a waste".
In an interview with Welsh singer Charlotte Church, Ross had a dig at Morgan as being "sculpted from lard".
He did, however, reserve praise for the third judge on the ITV1 show, pop svengali Simon Cowell.
Ross said: "Simon Cowell knows what he's talking about, but Amanda Holden and Piers Morgan, they're just a waste...
"What's she ever done? She's been in a couple of West End shows; she's not got much going on.
"And Piers Morgan has been sculpted from lard. So I'm not a fan of those shows."
Ross also told how he has tried to embarrass his kids on purpose by donning ridiculous outfits. He said: "I deliberately try to embarrass them. It's good for them, it toughens them up. I collect them from school and I used to deliberately try and find the stupidest outfit I could wear to go and get them from school.
"I used to wear hats and stuff like that and wait outside. Sometimes they would walk past and pretend I wasn't with them."
The father-of-three said he and wife Jane Goldman, 37, were "tempted" to have another child. He said: "She's got a lot of time left if she wants another one.
"I'll be good to go 'til I'm about 75. I'm like Charlie Chaplin, I'll be banging them out 'til I'm about 100. So I don't know - we're tempted."
