The presenters shared the news on social media
The competition has faced setbacks for the past two years due to restrictions as a result of the coronavirus pandemic – but it looks as if the upcoming series has been able to film the audition process as normal.
The judges have been travelling up and down the country to find some incredible and talented acts who are all hoping to make it to the final. The lucky winner will bag the chance of performing at the Royal Variety Performance in front of senior royals and a live audience at the London Palladium.
BGT normally airs in the spring time before the live shows commence in July across one week ahead of a grand finale.
