BRITAIN’S Got Talent fans will be delighted to know that the show is still returning to our screens tonight.
But there will be a few changes as ITV works around the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. We have all the details you need to know below…
When is Britain’s Got Talent 2020 on ITV?
While the show will still be kicking off tonight at 8pm, ITV just confirmed that they have postponed its live shows due to the coronavirus crisis.
The spread of Covid-19 has forced show bosses to act as the virus continues to wreak havoc on the entertainment industry.
Who will judge Britain’s Got Talent 2020?
As Simon Cowell‘s production company SyCo is the team behind the show, it was guaranteed that Simon would be back for the next series.
And David Walliams, Amanda Holden and Alesha Dixon are also back for another round at the judges’ table.
The current judging line-up has been in place for the past seven series including the last one, with Amanda and Simon remaining constant throughout the entire twelve-series run.
For the first four series, there were only three judges, with Piers Morgan in the third chair.
Michael McIntyre and David Hasselhoff then joined the team for 2011, but they only lasted one series.
Who will host Britain’s Got Talent 2020?
Ant and Dec will be back doing the honours as usual for the 2020 edition.
Back in 2018, Declan Donnelly hosting the show solo after Ant McPartlin stepped down from TV commitments for the “foreseeable future” while he checked back into rehab following his well-documented drink driving incident.
Ant was present for some of the audition shows filmed in January and February of that year before his arrest on March 18, 2018 for crashing his Mini while under the influence.
But during the live semi-finals Dec presented the show alone.

What is the prize for winning BGT?
As well as the honour of performing in front of the Royal family at the Royal Variety Performance, for the past six years, the winner has also won a prize fund of £250,000.
It has not been confirmed whether or not that will be the same in next year’s show.
But if BGT 2020 follows the format of previous years then the lucky winner will get their hands on the eye-watering sum of a quarter of a million!
