Britain’s Got Talent 2020 news, rumours and release date
The X Factor is but a distant memory, which means Simon Cowell’sotherbig show must be around the corner. That’s right, Britain’s Got Talent is on its way back to our screens for its fourteenth season – here’s what you need to know. We have a similar article forThe Voice UK.
When is Britain’s Got Talent back on?
ITV hasn’t announced a start date for series 14 but it’s a safe bet that the show will arrive some time this spring. It traditionally kicks off in mid-April – in recent years it’s started on the 15th, 14th and 6th of the month – sowe suspect that Saturday 11 Aprilis a fairly safe bet for the first episode.
Who are the presenters and judges?
As of yet ITV hasn’t confirmed this year’s judging lineup. But after the same four judges have appeared on the show for the last eight years – Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon, and David Walliams – we’d be pretty surprised if things changed for 2020.
The dynamic duo Ant and Dec will be returning to their presenting duties, for both the auditions across the country and the live shows.
Who are the contestants?
None of the contestants have yet been announced for 2020, so stay tuned.
