When is Britain’s Got Talent next on ITV?
While ITV last week confirmed the postponement of the show’s live shows due to the coronavirus crisis, Britain’s Got Talent will still be coming back to our screens tonight at 8pm.
The spread of Covid-19 and the ongoing lockdown has forced show bosses to act as the virus continues to wreak havoc on the entertainment industry.

Who is judging Britain’s Got Talent 2020?
Simon Cowell, David Walliams, Amanda Holden and Alesha Dixon are back for another round at the judges’ table this year.
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 is hosting Britain’s Got Talent 2020?
Ant and Dec are 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.
