Simon Cowell has struck up a deal with Richard Branson to send the winner of Britain’s Got Talent in to space with Virgin Galactic.

Cowell said: “It’s tens of millions of pounds but Richard genuinely is up for doing it. I am being serious, I swear to God and on my mum’s life. Of course we have to think about the details. If you’re a juggler we’ll need to make heavier balls. If it had been a few years ago Susan Boyle could have been singing Unchained Melody in front of the whole planet!”

Or if we sent her far enough, not at all.

Speaking to The Sun, Cowell also hinted that he may return to the UK version of the X-Factor. He said: “I’ve signed up to do the American show, but anything could happen regarding the British one. We’ll see what changes we make to the US X Factor, then we’ll see what we do to the UK X Factor.”
