Britain’s Got Talent is returning to TV screens this year, with Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly back at the hosting helm.
There was some discussion about whether the show would go ahead in light of the coronavirus pandemic, however, it is all set to launch on Saturday April 11.
Ahead of the programme returning to TV screens, veteran hosts Ant and Dec shared backstage secrets, and dished the dirt on Head Judge Simon Cowell’s awful time-keeping.
Speaking about what runs through his mind audition day, Ant revealed his main thought is: “What time will Simon Cowell get there today?! The second thing is just thinking about what we will get to see. We don’t know. We have no idea who’s going to walk around the corner, what they are going to do, good, bad or indifferent.
“So, it’s quite exciting, especially before the series starts, you get this real sense of excitement about what you’re going to discover.”
Dec added they’re “used to” Simon’s poor time-keeping.

He continued: “We’re used to it, so as long as you’re used to it, it doesn’t come as a surprise! For us, auditions are always fun, and you do think, “Is today going to be the day that we see the winner and unearth a brand-new star?” Everyone who has won the show has gone on to stardom and success of varying degrees.
“So, we always get excited about the prospect of meeting a brand new star!
