Amanda Holden's hubby Britain's Got Talent judge almost died after giving birth to her second daughter David Walliams on the panel.

A show source explained to The Mirror: "We always had planned bringing in some special guest judges for when Amanda went off to have the baby.

“We are sticking to three judges when we go to Cardiff at the weekend but we would like someone in the fourth seat by the time we film in London on February 6."

They added: “Amanda knows she is welcome back but the show must go on and we need another judge as soon as possible.”
