AMANDA Holden says unfunny comedians are doomed to fail on Britain's Got Talent.
The judge insists she and her co-stars Simon Cowell, Alesha Dixon and newest arrival Bruno Tonioli are most likely to hit the red buzzer for bad stand-ups.
Lost Voice Guy, also known as Lee Ridley, was the first comedian to win Britain's Got Talent in its 12th series.
The notoriously difficult act often proves tricky to impress audiences – and Amanda says magicians are most at risk from the judges if they don't bring anything new to the table.
Blasting comedy that's not funny as her biggest turn off, Amanda revealed: "We had a stand-up, a woman came on the other day, and from her opening speech, I knew she wasn't going to work."
She added she was bored with "magic that we've seen before, where there's a big old emotional story attached".

The 52-year-old admits it's still difficult to hit the red buzzer – despite being on the panel since 2007.
She said: "It's excruciating to press your buzzer for somebody up there doing the most difficult thing in the world," she said.
Bruno was the flamboyant face of Strictly Come Dancing for 18 years but has now hot-footed it over to Britain’s Got Talent.
He replaces David Walliams who resigned after ten years on the panel after footage emerged of him mocking some of the show’s contestants.
