Music competition judge and media mogul Simon Cowell has decided to return for the seventh season of ITV’s "Britain’s Got Talent," reports Deadline.com.

Cowell will rejoin judges Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and David Walliams. Cowell returned to the show this year in an effort to bolster the show’s ratings as it went head to head with BBC1’s "The Voice UK."

Simon said in a statement, “I loved doing the show last year, the new panel worked really well and I’m very happy they have all agreed to come back. Last year was a special year for talent and I hope that in 2013, off the back of an amazing year for Britain, we find another global star.”

Auditions with the judges begin with a tour in January 2013.
