BRITAIN'S GOT TALENT: FIRST TEASER RELEASED AHEAD OF NEW SERIES ON ITV

Britain’s Got Talent makes a triumphant return to the stage as judges Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and Bruno Tonioli and guest judge KSI reunite with hosts Ant & Dec in the search for Britain’s next talented superstar... and it’s set to be a golden year.

The judges are braced and ready to be met with some of the most spectacular displays of talent as lucky hopefuls tread the boards of the iconic London Palladium in a bid to impress the panel enough to bag a life-changing £250,000 cash prize and a spot on the bill of the Royal Variety Performance.

Contestants will be dreaming of a Golden Buzzer that gives them an automatic place in the live semi-finals and hoping to avoid the dreaded red buzzers which could put an end to their journey.

The series begins Saturday 22nd February, though to Saturday 19th April. According to the Eventim Apollo website, the live shows will launch on Saturday 26th April, airing weekly through to the live final on Saturday 31st May.

Britain's Got Talent airs on ITV1 and ITVX.
