★★★★★ Britain’s Got Talent

ITV, SATURDAY 16 APRIL, 8PM

It seems like an age since BGT was on our screens – and it has been a long 18 months – so it feels extra-exciting that it’s back this weekend, with this first auditions show on

Saturday night followed by a second batch on Sunday at 7.35pm. As you can read all about in our exclusive feature on page 28, this is also the first time Simon Cowell has been back on any kind of TV since his bike accident in 2020, and he’s joining stalwart fellow judges David Walliams, Alesha Dixon and Amanda Holden, while Ant & Dec host the whole thing as ever. It’s also the 15th series and the tenth year of this unbeatable judging panel, and the opening round of auditions includes The Brit Kids, who recreate some of the most memorable moments from 15 years of BGT. Expect laughter, tears, drama, kitsch, and David annoying Simon.
