Judging them will be none other than one-half of the world-renowned Penn &Teller act, Penn Jillette, who will be keeping Simon Cowell's seat warm. This means the remaining panel of stalwarts will include Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and David Walliams.

Stephen Mulhern, who is no stranger to magic himself, will host the special edition before handing it over to the audience who are the real judges for the evening. Despite a star-studded panel, it will all come down to the fans in the room to decide who they want to walk away as Britain's Got Talent's Ultimate Magician.

Britain's Got Talent: Ultimate Magician airs Sunday, December 18 at 8 pm on ITV.
