Simon Cowell is considering another one off special

Following last month's 'Ultimate Magician' one off, producers are said to be thinking about potential themes for another special, and the AGE-year-old media mogul's love for animals could lead to a pet-based show.

An insider told The Sun newspaper's TVBiz: "Simon has long been a fan of the animal acts on 'Britain's Got Talent', so nobody was surprised when the notion of a furry friends special was raised.

"'Ultimate Magician' proved there's an appetite for these spectacular showcases, so why not?

"There are a couple of ideas on the table but the animals are leading the way at the moment."

Whatever the chosen theme is, fans will be interested in finding out how the judging panel will come together.

There have been reports former 'Strictly Come Dancing' star Bruno Tonioli is set to replace David Walliams on 'BGT', and his fellow panellist Craig Revel Horwood is excited to see his friend in the running.

Asked about the speculation, he said: "I would love to say he is, but I believe he’s up against Alan Carr as well so I think they’re juggling and they’re going to save it as a surprise, so I in fact don’t know.

"And Bruno is very secretive with me, darling, so he will never be honest with me or tell me the truth. So I really don’t know.

"But I would love to see Bruno back on our screens and I think it’s a great position to have so I wish him all the very best if he is in the running for it because I think he’d be wonderful to get that energy back on the telly."

Bruno has recently appeared on 'Dancing with the Stars' in the US, but he's now been made a lucrative offer to return to British TV.

A source explained: "Sealing the deal was always down to him being presented with an offer enticing enough to make a commitment to the show.

"After intense negotiations, they’ve managed to reach an agreement that will now see him return to prime-time Saturday night TV in the UK."
