With The Great British Bake Off having left the BBC, attention has turned to how the broadcaster will replace their flagship show.
In other Bake Off news, Sherlock creator Steven Moffat criticised Love Productions for signing a contract with Channel 4 despite having been with the BBC for numerous seasons.
Whether or not Cowell and the BBC could work together is highly debatable, particularly now the music mogul has reportedly signed a three-year X-Factor contract with ITV.
According to various reports, Simon Cowell – the person behind the likes of The X-Factor, Britain’s Got Talent and Pop Idol – has pitched a new baking show to the corporation.
