It's been rumoured for weeks, but now iTV have confirmed that Michael McIntyre will join the judging panel of Britain's Got Talent from the 2011 series onwards. The move follows Piers Morgan's departure from the show in 2010 to host a prime-time programme in the US, and was announced on the same day as David Hasslehoff's inclusion in the BGT panel. McIntyre, speaking fresh off his signing tour for autobiography Life & Laughing (4/5) called the job "extremely exciting", saying that he was "thrilled when Simon Cowell asked". It was also confirmed in the iTV press release that only Amanda Holden would appear with the two new judges for the live auditions, with Simon Cowell joining the show later on. I myself am a huge fan of Michael McIntyre, so this is quite the early Xmas present!
