BRITAIN’S GOT Talent has enjoyed a surge in viewers, with Saturday night’s show pulling in the highest rating so far this series.
Some 9.4m viewers tuned in to see retired registrar turned DJ Dizzy Twilight win over the judges with her amateur mixing, giving ITV a 44 per cent share of the 8pm audience and a significant boost to the 8.3m who switched on last week.
The audience for the talent show peaked at 10.8m, the channel said.

The figures are expected to get a further boost when the numbers for audiences who watch the show on catch-up are added. The first episode in the series of
Doctor Who added more than 2m viewers in the first week of consolidated
