Britain’s Got Talent will be back on our screens in April after almost two years for its 15th series.

The popular talent show which features judges Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and David Walliams is set to return after the ITV series was cancelled due to the pandemic in 2021.

Filming for the upcoming series was supposed to begin early last year but production was postponed until 2022.

Producing the show proved complicated as the talent programme involves contestants travelling from across the UK and sometimes even abroad.

Britain's Got Talent to return in April

Typically, viewers can watch the series from around April until July which is when the semi-final and final are broadcast live.

The show confirmed its return alongside a teaser trailer that featured presenters Ant and Dec, the judges and gave fans a first look at this season's auditions.

Britain's Got Talent's last series saw 2009 winners Diversity perform a Black Lives Matter-inspired routine.

The routine involved a man in a police uniform kneeling on Ashley Banjo, as an act of protest against the killing of unarmed black man George Floyd in Minneapolis, Minnesota in the United States.

The routine led to more than 24,000 complaints to Ofcom and won the public voted must-see moment at the 2021 TV Bafta Awards.

The last series also saw veteran judge Cowell being replaced by Banjo on the judging panel for the final and semi-finals of the last series as he was recovering from a back injury.

Britain's Got Talent returns this April on ITV and STV.
