Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly will resume hosting duties on Britain’s Got Talent 2024, having presented the series since the very beginning.
The duo recently announced that they were taking a break from Saturday Night Takeaway after this year’s season, to focus on other projects and spend more time with their families.
Ant told us: “We just thought it was the perfect time with series 20. It seemed a natural point to take a pause. We have rested Takeaway in the past and reaching series 20 felt like it was a good time to take a break and look at how we want the show to look in the future.
“You can’t reimagine it in a different way when you’re in it. So we wanted to come away for a bit and see how we felt. First and foremost we just needed a bit of a break from it.”
It is expected they will be focusing on Britain’s Got Talent and the next season of I’m a Celebrity.

They revealed they spoke to someone called Charlotte Booth, who said: “My daughter is performing today as part of a group. They are cheerleaders from Coventry Dynamite, while the 13-18 age group is called Lady Grenades.
“They are a group of 24 young ladies, they are all under 18 and the you group is 13. They are going to Florida in April to complete in the Cheering Worlds.”
We don’t have information about any of the other acts at present, but we’ll be meeting plenty of them when the series kicks off on ITV!

Yes, a first look trailer has been released for the new series, teasing the judges, some acts and the Golden Buzzer!
The first episode also saw our first Golden Buzzers, with Alesha choosing to send through 8-year-old Ravi, who delivered a showstopping performance of A Million Dreams from The Greatest Showman as part of his group, Ravi’s Dream Team.
Elsewhere, Sydnie Christmas got Amanda’s Golden Buzzer for her rendition of Tomorrow from the musical Annie. So both of these acts have been fast tracked to the live shows.
In an exclusive interview with What to Watch, Sydnie revealed: “It doesn’t seem like it happened because it happened so quick. One minute, the judges are talking to me, and I was just trying to concentrate on what they were saying, then the next minute, this big, loud noise went off and I realised what had happened. I was in total shock – but happy shock.
On April 27, Simon also used his Golden Buzzer for the Japanese dance group Cyberagent Legit who have all been dancing together since they were four years old. Speaking about hitting the buzzer, he said: “Amazing! That was fantastic,
