She has been a staple of the America’s Got Talent panel for six years.

Over the top of the clips, Heidi spoke about the day she learned she was getting the high-profile job.
She said: ‘I was asked by America’s Got Talent to come in for a meeting. I didn’t hear anything afterwards until I saw in the newspaper that Melanie Brown got the job. I’m like, “Darn, I lost it! I’m not getting it.”
‘Two weeks before the show started shooting they called me and said, “We want to hire you as one of the judges.” And I said, “But you already booked Mel. I saw it in the newspaper.”
And they said, “Well, guess what? For the first time, we have four judges.’ I was like, “Hallelujah!'”
The Vogue coverstar also tweeted a slideshow of photos of herself and her fellow judges – show creator Simon Cowell, comedian Howie Mandel, and Spice Girls star Mel B, who is also leaving the show – where she spoke about the ‘amazing’ time she’s had as a judge.
She captioned the snaps: ‘I wanted to say THANK YOU and how amazing the past 6 years have been while working on @AGT … I love my fellow judges, our hosts & AMAZING CREW … It’s been such an incredible experience and I will miss ALL OF YOU very much! I will be watching and voting from home! (sic)’
Earlier this month, it was revealed Julianne Hough and Gabrielle Union are set to replace Heidi and Mel.
