Britain's Got Talent fans react with disbelief as Simon Cowell is seen taking a bubble bath just moments in

The new series of Britain's Got Talent has had fans talking with its high-energy opening sketches, and fans couldn't believe their eyes moments into the third episode as head judge Simon Cowell appeared to take a bubble bath. In an all-singing, all-dancing start to the 16th series of BGT, Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly were singing in the streets to The Osmonds song Having a Party surrounded by dancers, singers and other talented acts.

Then in the second episode, the ITV talent show rolled into Manchester and Ant and Dec headed to Coronation Street. The duo found themselves wandering the world's most famous street, just across the bridge from The Lowry in Salford where Manchester's auditions were based, as they tracked down judges Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon, Bruno Tonioli and Simon.

In a comical sketch 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.
