Ant and Dec 'sabotage' Britain's Got Talent auditions with prank on judges

Ant and Dec sabotaged the Britain's Got Talent auditions that aired on Saturday night, by playing a prank on the judges that saw the hosts tamper with their walk on music.

Following it triumphant return to screens earlier this month, the new series of BGT continued on Saturday night, with the early rounds of the show seeing more hopefuls step into the spotlight, aiming to impress the judges enough to make it through to the next round.

At the start of every auditions day, the Britain's Got Talent judges are welcomed onto their seat by Ant and Dec, before taking their seats behind the panel, but the presenters had a surprise for their ITV colleagues, informing them that they had chosen their walk on music, prompting Amanda Holden to remark: "Mine will be from some West End show," and Simon Cowell to joke: "I'll be Barbie Girl."
