After it was rested for a year Britain's Got Talent returns to ITV and fans can't wait as they're wondering when is BGT 2022?
The reality talent show, which last aired in 2020, was cancelled in 2021 due to the Coronavirus pandemic but filming auditions resumed earlier this year and the show is expected to be bigger and better than ever before.
So with singers, dancers, magicians, comedians and animal tricks expected to fill the audition line up once again, you might wonder where the BGT contestants are now, but we look at all you need to know ahead of the start of the new series...
When is Britain's Got Talent 2022?
BGT 2022 returns to ITV on Saturday, 16th April at 8pm and will continue to following day (Sunday April 17, 2022) at 7.35pm. Each show will be available to stream on the ITV Hub after each episode has aired.
Contestants will be hoping to impress judges and viewers at home with their talents as they compete for a huge cash prize and for the chance to be on the bill for the Royal Variety Show - which promises to be an extra special one as it's the Queen's Platinum Jubilee year.
In 2020 comedy pianist Jon Courtenay won the £250,000 cash prize.
The auditions have already taken place, they were filmed earlier this year at the London Palladium in the West End, where hundreds of performers gave it their best shot in front of a live audience.
You will be able to see who makes it through to the live shows, and acts need three or more yeses to make it through - unless of course they are saved via the prestigious golden buzzer.
Hosts Ant and Dec are returning to introduce the acts and chat to them backstage.
