Last month it was reported Amanda and her BGT judge Alesha Dixon have allegedly been drawn into a gender pay gap dispute as Simon Cowell and David Walliams are paid more than double their salary. 

The pair are said to be unhappy with the fact they earn so much less even though they take on the same role, with a source telling MailOnline it is ‘shocking’ that this is the case.

An industry source hit out: ‘In 2020 all judges should be on equal pay. After 14 years of service by Amanda and 8 years of service by Alesha it’s shocking that both girls are paid less than David. Why, because he’s a man?’ 

According to a report from The Sun, Amanda -who took on the role of Head Judge in Simon’s absence during the recent series, earns around £700,000 while Alesha is said to make £450,000. 

Meanwhile, it was alleged that David re-negotiated his contract for the show and is now earning more than £1.5 million for his appearance. 

Simon, who helped create the show, is reportedly being paid a staggering £2.5 million for his part on the show, though Ashley Banjo took over his seat for the most recent series following his back injury.

A source speaking to the publication claimed that Simon was unaware his wage was so much higher than his fellow judges, but that everyone feels he ‘deserves’ the fee.  

MailOnline has contacted representatives for Amanda, Alesha, Simon, and David for comment, and has also approached Britain’s Got Talent spokespeople.
