However it was confirmed that both Ant and Dec will appear in the auditions stage of the show. Also both Ant and Dec are notably missing in the new promotion for the upcoming series with no feature in the promotional video or photographs. Hmm.

Who presents Britain's Got More Talent and when is it on?

Stephen Mulhern returns to host the after show BGMT, which will air directly after the main show but on ITV2 at 9:25!

The after show host recently revealed that there was going to be a "big twist" in this years show, revealing a "Russian Roulette" styled game with the judges often forgetting they have their microphones on backstage. Oops.

Mulhern has also predicted his winner of this years show already! Talking to Radio Times he said "I'm going to make a prediction- I think a variety act is going to win this year." Interesting.

The_Britain's Got Talent_ page has just shared a clip of what to expect from the host on the after show: Although Ant and Dec are absent from the annual clip but all judges feature. A noticeable line in Mulhern's sketch is him rapping " Ant and Dec will have to lump it."
