David explained: “If I can kill that format forever by appearing on it, I’d very much like to.

“I’ve mentioned it to him [Simon]. I cannot sing a note so I’d fit in very well. It would be fun.

“I don’t know if it’s going to happen but I’d love to. I’ve always loved it.

“I would love to be on that stage doing a duet with Wagner.”
