Ant McPartlin was left feeling incredibly emotional as he choked back the tears amid his return to Britain's Got Talent.
The 46-year-old host said that he and co-star were delighted to be back and with an audience for the first time in two years.
It comes after ITV were forced to cancel the show last year as it became impossible to audition acts due to the Coronavirus pandemic. In 2020, they had been forced to delay the live semi-finals and final until the autumn, which were largely pre-recorded and involved a remote studio audience.
