Britain's Got Talent confirm change in ITV schedule for start of new series

It was back in October 2020 that Jon Courtenay became the latest champion on the ITV, at the end of a series that faced serious disruption due to the coronavirus pandemic. The auditions that year were held in January, meaning they were all done and dusted before Covid restrictions were introduced in the UK.

However, with the country plunged into the first national lockdown in March, which lasted to July, the semi finals of BGT couldn't go ahead as planned in May, and instead were pushed back four months to the autumn. Jon, hosts Ant and Dec' s Golden Buzzer Act, won in the final and ended up performing at the Royal Variety Show.
