Being a judge isn't easy (2014)




Charlie stood in the green room with Stephen, her dad and Ant and the judges as they were getting ready for the last audition of the day and all the other judge's children were in the green room. It was like a creche in the judge's room with kids and dogs running around wildly. She smiled she loved the whole atmosphere in the room, she remembered when she used to be the only kid on set now there were lots of them running around. She looks up as Stephen comes in and smiles.


Stephen" Hey, you ready for the last auditions?"


Charlie*nods* Yeah let's do this"


Stephen" What do you reckon will we get?"


Charlie" I don't know but I've got this feeling something crazy might happen"


Stephen" Really?"


Charlie" Yeah you want to put a bet on it?"


Stephen" Oh no, I always lose our bets" *sighs*


Charlie" How much do you want to bet let's say forty quid"


Stephen" Forty Quid!"


Charlie" Yeah why not?"


Stephen*sighs* rolls his eyes* Okay, okay"


They shake hands and proceed to the stage where all the judges are taking place at the desk.


Charlie" Okay, let's do this"


The day moved swiftly on with magicians filing through and then some comedians all of whom weren't that funny at all. Some dancers came on and got a golden buzzer and some singer who also got a golden buzzer. Stephen looked at Charlie feeling like he had actually won a bet but then it happened after lunch.


Simon was not at the auditions that day and everyone wanted to a go at judging.


Ant*looks at Dec* Doesn't take two of us to do this job does it"


Dec" True, shall we have a word"


The audience cheer as they come on.


Ant" It's awkward isn't it having an empty chair if you want"


All the audience cheer.


Ant" Shall we?"


Amanda" Yes"


Ant pushes Dec as he runs to the desk.


Ant*gives Amanda a kiss* Hello, this nice"


Dec*speaks to the contestant* We have a new fourth judge"


Contestant" Who?"


Dec" Ant"


Then man then steps back a bit.


Ant" I like this already, I feel powerful already"


The man walks on to the stage and smiles and waves at Ant as he stands on the stage. Ant asks him all the usual questions and the man says he would like to be the male Rhianna.


Ant" Okay, of you go"


The performance starts at he is terrible, it's all a bit over the place and Ant puts his hands over his mouth trying to laugh.


Dec" Haha, judge that Ant"


He continues as Amanda, Alesha and David all press their buzzers with Ant holding back. Dec squeezes his hands on his face begging him to push the buzzer. The performance ends and Ant doesn't press the buzzer.


Ant" It just wasn't my bag I'm sorry"


Amanda"  It's a no"


Alesha" It's a no from me"


David" It's a no"


Ant*sighs* Oh this horrible"


David*looks at him* Is it really that hard to press the buzzer?"


Ant" Yes"*hovers his hands over the buzzer* I might just quit now"


Dec comes out looking at him and mouth can I have a go. Ant nods.


Dec runs over and sits at the desk.


Dec" It's weird being at this table"*looks up at the contestant*


Dec asks him all the normal questions before he begins his act. He starts dancing really weird and Amanda, Alesha and David's hands all come smashing down on the bright red buzzers. Dec looks up.


Dec" Oh no"


Amanda presses his buzzer and he gets all defensive.


Dec" I didn't do that, I didn't do that, I actually thought it was really good, I liked it"


David" No you didn't you big liar*


Dec*blushes already gone red in the face*


They all say no and watch the contestant leave and Dec looks at the judges.


Dec" This is really hard"


Amanda" Did you think it was going to be easier?"


Dec" Yeah I did"*nods* Looks I'm going to go now"


Amanda" Bye darling"


Dec gets up to leave the table.


Ant" It's hard isn't it"


Dec" Yeah, I didn't think it would be that hard, I mean their faces when you press the buzzer"


Ant" I know you get this awful feeling in your stomach "


Dec" Oh you got it too, it's horrible, I don't know how Charlie has done it"


Ant" Oh that's right she was on Got To Dance wasn't she as a judge, wow how did she do that"


Dec*smiles*


Ant" What?*looks at him*


Dec" I was just remembering those days, I loved being in the audience watching my little girl judge and take to the stage with Diversity"


Ant" Dancing with all the lads"


Dec*smiles* I trust them"


Ant" Yeah that's was a good time wasn't it, remember she invited us to do a behind the scenes with her, Jordan and Perri"


Dec" Oh yeah, oh wasn't that funny it was just madness wasn't it"


Ant" It sure was"


Then the last act appeared next to them drawing them out of their trance and they introduced themselves while the woman told them what she was doing. When she appeared on the stage she said hello to the judges.


Charlie" Hello and who are you?"


Lucy" My name is Lucy"


Charlie" And what are you here to do?"


Lucy" Well, singing, of course, duh I have a microphone"


Charlie" Oh sure, well do you think you could win Britains Got Talent"


Lucy" Definitely"


All the judges nod.


Charlie" Okay, well whenever you are ready, the stage is all yours"


Lucy" It sure is"


Amanda leans over to Charlie.


Amanda" I'm not sure I like her she is very cocky"


Charlie" Yeah, I'm not sure I do"


Everyone waits in anticipation as she prepares herself asking Ant and Dec to play her music. Ant nods to a crew member and the song start to play. She starts to sing if you could call it singing it sounded like someone was swinging a bag of cats against the wall. Everyone held their ears to try and stop the screeching coming from her mouth, the judges watch her and try to hold back their laughter.


Ant" This is awful, I'm very glad we aren't at the desk now"


Dec" Me too, I'm not sure I could do it"


Ant and Dec looked across at Stephen and then he mouthed to them.


Stephen*mouths* She is crap"


The boys laugh and nod.


When she finally finishes everyone sighs in relief and she smiles at the judges and audience.


David" Well it was certainly entertaining even if we all have burning eardrums"


Lucy pulls a face at David.


Lucy" So it wasn't good"


David" No"


Lucy" Well what do you know, you are not even a singer"


David" Alesha?" *looks at her*


Alesha" Yeah I'm sorry it just wasn't for me, perhaps you could find something else to do." Amanda?"


Amanda" Yeah I agree with Alesha maybe you could find something else you might be better at" *looks at Charlie*


Charlie*shakes* It was terrible, I mean it sounded like someone was swinging a bag of cats against the wall"


Lucy*shocked face* I'm sorry and who are you?" What exactly do you know?"


Charlie*taken a back* Excuse me?"


Dec then walked out on the stage.


Dec" I think you will find she is my daughter"


Lucy looks at Dec then at Charlie.


Lucy" You, you are the one who made life difficult for him by being born"


Charlie*tries not to cry* Shut up!"


Lucy" Oh are you going to cry, it's true, very true he even said in an interview"


Charlie" Shut up!"


Lucy" You are only famous because your dad is famous"


Charlie looks at her dad before running off stage.


Lucy sniggers and Dec walks up to her. She looks up at him and smirks at him. Dec thought she would be scared but she didn't even shift.


Lucy" And what are you going to hit me?"


Dec" No I would never do that to a woman, I just want you to know THAT NO ONE COMES BETWEEN ME AND MY DAUGHTER, SO WHY DON'T YOU GET OFF THE STAGE AND DON'T COME BACK"


Lucy sighs seeing security advance towards the stage.


Lucy" Okay, okay I am going, keep your hair on"


She left the stage and everyone was left shocked. Dec ran off the stage to find his daughter sitting in the green room crying into Stephen. He walks over to her and Stephen gives her to Dec.


Dec*takes his daughter in his arms* You listen to me I love so so much, I have so much love for you and so much pride for all the things you have achieved, you may be famous because of me, you may not but just know that we all love you"


Charlie*looks up* Thanks dad, I love you"


Dec" I love you too Charlie"


Stephen" Oh me too, I love you too"


Charlie*chuckles* I love you too Stephen"*hugs him*


Dec" Anything she said was a lie, I would never say you were a burden when you were born, if anything you were my beacon of hope"


Charlie*looks at her dad* What?"


Dec" I was having a rough time it was all the pressure of being a young television star, I mean I told my mum I was having anxiety and depression and Ant but even when I got it out I was still unhappy, then you came into my life and you made me smile and gave me a reason to keep going"


Dec then starts crying and Charlie starts crying as well.


Dec" Don't listen to anything she has said, you are a beautiful, smart and friendly person that I am lucky to call my daughter"


Charlie*hugs her dad* Thank you, Dad, I love you so much"


Dec" And I love you"


All the judges rush in followed by Ant. Ant takes his place on the other side of Charlie.


Ant" You okay Little D?"


Charlie*nods* Yeah I'm okay little shaken but I've had cuddles with dad and Stephen"


Ant" Awww, here let me give you a cuddle"


The judges looked as Ant, Dec and Stephen hugged Charlie.


So what did you think of this? Let me know in the comments below or message me if you like. Plus if you could give me a vote that would amazing!.


So a rude act comes on expecting to be put through when all she does is sing terribly and then scream at Charlie for being born. And what about Daddy Dec getting all protective for his daughter.


Thanks.
