Good to see she's moved on, anyway.
In a recent interview, she said: "There was nothing I could do in this country after Britain's Got Talent. The people at ITV were telling me that I had upset Ant and Dec and that was it... I would love to have stayed on the show. I really felt it was working out. Ant and Dec had never been anything but pleasant to my face but, clearly, they didn't want me on the show… Basically, I just don't think Ant and Dec liked me. Their egos are such that they were saying to themselves 'How dare she think she can come on to our show?', and since then they've been very vocal about their displeasure at me being there.' I have to say it's the first experience I have had of that kind of behaviour and I was shocked by it, actually."
Brace yourselves, for Kelly has a point. Ant and Dec admitted at the time (we're not specifically sure which one of them said this, or if they took turns saying each word. Does it really matter? No. If it helps, just imagine them in a conjoined pinstriped three-piece suit): "It's completely true we were annoyed that she'd been brought in. We arrived for work and found out there was to be a fourth judge for the show. It could have been anybody and it wouldn't have worked. We wish somebody had asked us. But no one did and no one consulted us. We could have just said that it wouldn't work right from the start."
Another judge landed in on you, rough, that meant you had to learn another name. That must've impacted hugely on your script, which involves so much more than sniggering stage side.
D'you know what? I bet Ant and Dec were responsible for Kelly being let go from The Big Breakfast and Celebrity Love Island as well. Betcha.
