When is Britain's Got Talent back?

Viewers can tune into Britain's Got Talent: Acts That Stormed the World on Sunday, 21st March at 1:40pm.

ITV confirmed on 29th January 2021 that the 15th season won't air in 2021, and has been pushed back a year.

A statement from BGT, obtained by RadioTimes.com, read: “Despite everyone at ITV, Thames and Syco doing their best to make it happen, and with our absolute priority of safeguarding the well-being and health of every person involved in the programme from judges, hosts and contestants to all of the crew and audience, the decision has been made to – unfortunately - move the record and broadcast of the 15^thseries of Britain’s Got Talent to 2022.

"BGT is known for its diversity of talent with big dance groups, wonderful choirs and lavish orchestras at its heart, and it has become clear that not only is it not possible to film auditions with these types of acts in a secure way but also that they are not able to adequately rehearse and prepare safely. Safety has to come first and, as a result, the recording of the show can’t currently go ahead as planned.”

With that in mind, we can expect to see season 15 air on ITV around April 2022, as per previous years.

Who are the contestants on Britain's Got Talent season 15?
