The show's association was figured by The X Factor creator and Sony Music official Simon Cowell, who has made various Got Talent game plan over the globe. A pilot scene was recorded in September 2005, with the judging board including Cowell, then-This Morning mediator Fern Briton, and tabloid essayist Piers Morgan. It was at first masterminded that the show would be broadcast in 2006 and presented by Paul O'Grady with the title Paul O'Grady's Got Talent. In any case, subsequent to betraying to Channel 4 for The Paul O'Grady Show, he declined to appear on another TV show up, so the show was put on hold. The pilot remained not broadcast on TV until it was showed up in the midst of The Talent Show Story in January 2012. In a 2010 meeting, O'Grady said, "I did the pilot for Britain's Got Talent – which was at first going to be called Paul O'Grady's Got Talent. Regardless, I told the producers they were having a joke if they thought I would front a show with that title. The principal leading body of judges would have been Simon Cowell, Fern Britton and Piers Morgan. I was the host. By then when I had the section with I TV I was banned from the studios. I review that I rang Simon and let him know he had an epic hit gazing him in the face, yet there was no possibility I could do it. I said, in case I am banned I should be banned from everything. I can't be a fraud and come in and do this. I expected to bow out."
