Britain’s Got Talent 2024 series

The Sun recently revealed a “surprise” insight into what we can expect from the new series.

An insider revealed: “People know the show often features foreign acts – some of them are utterly brilliant and, in many cases, go on to win the contest. But it’s a surprise to think that the cream of the crop who are sent through on golden buzzers are often from other countries.”

According to a source, the producers of the ITV show are also trying to figure out a temporary replacement for Ant McPartlin. He’ll most likely need time out when his wife gives birth to their first baby. It’s said to be due during the show’s run.

According to a TV source at The Sun, one of Dec’s fellow ITV stars, Cat Deeley or Stephen Mulhern, might step in.

They explained: “They are considering whether Dec would present alone if Anne-Marie went into labour or, if time allows, a guest presenter could step in. Cat and Stephen, who the lads have worked with in the past, are front-runners.”

BGT 2024 stars on ITV1 on April 20 at 7.30pm.
