ITV Britain's Got Talent: Why is David Walliams not on BGT 2023 as he's replaced by Bruno Tonioli?

Britain's Got Talent is bursting back onto our screens and there is a new - yet familiar - face on the judging panel. Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden and Alesha Dixon are back scouring the country for the most talented performers - from singers to magicians and everything in between.

But instead of David Walliams, it is Bruno Tonioli joining them. The former Strictly Come Dancing judge has swapped panels - and channels - to appear on the ITV talent show which returns on Saturday and Sunday night (April 15 and 16) with auditions from Salford in Greater Manchester and London.

Other contestants have been found through videos entered via WhatsApp and members of the public secretly nominating acts they love. Hopefuls are again competing for a prize of £250,000 and the opportunity to perform at the Royal Variety Performance in front of the royal family later this year.
