Ant and Dec considered leaving Britain’s Got Talent over fears they were being sidelined before Simon Cowell convinced them to stay, according to the pair’s upcoming autobiography.

The presenting duo said they were unhappy at how the entertainment show was being edited, feeling their contribution was not being reflected in the finished product.

Ant and Dec, both 44, told ITV bosses of their concerns who then informed Cowell, leading to talks in Los Angeles.
