Ant and Dec get lost on Coronation Street and Britain's Got Talent judges make unlikely visit to Roy's Rolls

Britain's Got Talent was back with a bang on ITV on Saturday night (April 17) and while they were filming auditions in Salford, hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly 'lost' the judges and ended up on Coronation Street. Ant and Dec found themselves wandering the world's most famous street, just across the bridge from The Lowry where Manchester auditions were based, as they tracked down judges Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon, Bruno Tonioli and Simon Cowell.

In a comical sketch for the popular ITV talent show, Ant asked "so where are they judges then?" and Dec admitted he'd installed a tracker on head judge Simon's phone. As they walked along with famous landmarks on the Trafford Wharf Road set in the backdrop, including The Kabin and Nick Tilsley's bistro, they literally bumped into Weathefield icon Sally Metcalfe, played by Sally Dynevor.

Looking shocked, she said "you're ..." and Ant cut in to finish her sentence: "Ant McPartlin, former rapper, current TV host and two time rear of the year award." Dec quickly butted in to say he was only "runner up." But Sally looked unimpressed as she corrected "you're stood on my foot" and walked off.
