In a scheduling shakeup, the UK’s number one talent show will air in February for the first time ever. It will also run for longer, with mischievous hosts Ant and Deck guiding our UK hopefuls through the audition stage and semi-finals in episodes which will now go out weekly.
The judging lineup remains almost the same. Simon Cowell, Alesha Dixon, Amanda Holden and Bruno Tonioli return to appraise some brilliant – and sometimes bonkers – acts, as ordinary people with heartwarming stories share their extraordinary talents. This time, however, they’ll be joined by renowned singer and YouTube star KSI. He’ll get to have his own ‘Golden Buzzer’ moment, too, which will guarantee his favorite performer a place in the semi-finals and bring someone closer to winning that life-changing £250,000.

How to watch Britain’s Got Talent season 18 from anywhere You can watch Britain’s Got Talent and enjoy every audition and live show free from the UK. But, if you find yourself abroad at any point during the series, geo-blocking will stop you from watching Britain’s Got Talent on ITVX while abroad.
