Ant and Dec drag Britain's Got Talent contestant off stage in explosive first look at new series

Ant and Dec are seen dragging a Britain's Got Talent contestant off stage in an explosive first look at the new series of the much loved show.

Viewers were left gutted early last year when BGT bosses confirmed that, with the country in the third national lockdown, the programme had been completely scrapped, as auditions just couldn't happen as they normally would. The sad news followed a disrupted year for the ITV show in 2020, when there was a huge gap between the already filmed auditions and the semi finals, after Covid restrictions were brought in the first time and we were were locked down for the first time.

The longest reigning Britain's Got Talent champion in the show's history, Jon Courtenay, was eventually crowned in October 2020, going onto perform at the Royal Variety Show. Jon's win was an even sweeter one for hosts Ant and Dec as he was their Golden Buzzer Act, becoming the first ever Golden Buzzer contestant to go onto win, since BGT made its debut in 2007 and was won by Paul Potts.
