Britain's Got Talent is returning to ITV this weekend with series 16. There are some major changes in place this year with Strictly Come Dancing's Bruno Toniolo replacing David Walliams on the judging panel.
He will join Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and Simon Cowell to judge this year's acts as the programme prepares to showcase talent from across the UK, including the weird and the wonderful. As usual presenters Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly will be back at the helm to present the shows and support and watch the acts from the sidelines.
Last year saw comedian Axel Blake crowned the winner. Those taking part in BGT this year will be hoping to follow in his footsteps in order to scoop the £250,000 prize money and a spot at the Royal Variety Performance. For more showbiz and television stories get our newsletter here.
